The new-look series of Hercule Poirot books for the 21st century. An
outbreak of kleptomania at a student hostel was not normally the sort of
crime that aroused Hercule Poirot's interest. But when he saw the list of
stolen and vandalized items -- including a stethoscope, some old flannel
trousers, a box of chocolates, a slashed rucksack and a diamond ring found
in a bowl of soup -- he congratulated the warden, Mrs Hubbard, on a 'unique
and beautiful problem'. The list made absolutely no sense at all. But,
reasoned Poirot, if this was merely a petty thief at work, why was
everyone at the hostel so frightened?
