Plots(1)
Poirot receives a note from wealthy pork pie manufacturer Benedict Farley urgently requesting a meeting. The elderly tycoon explains a recurring dream in which he commits suicide in the library at midday using a revolver. He asks whether Poirot has any experience of a victim being hypnotised into committing suicide - Poirot has not. When Farley is found dead with a gun in his hand, Poirot is convinced that foul play is afoot. (iTunes)
