Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa, Lady Mallowan, DBE (1890 - 1976), commonly known as Agatha Christie, is one of the world´s best-known mystery writers.  She is best remembered for her 80 novels and short story collections and over one dozen plays.  Her works, featuring detectives Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple, have given her the title the "Queen of Crime" and made her one of the most important and innovative writers in the development of the genre.  Her play, "THE MOUSETRAP" holds the record for the longest initial run in the world, opening at the Ambassadors Theatre in London on 25 November 1952, and as of 2008 is still running after more than 20,000 performances.

A young married man spends many evenings with a rich old woman.  When she is found murdered, the naive young man is the chief suspect.  The testimony of his wife is expected to result in an acquittal, but all does not go as expected on the stand, a mysterious woman appears, and the young man´s fate appears sealed.  Then, just when you think you have it all figured out, you are dealt an astounding triple twist of an ending!
