Dumb Witness = Безмолвный свидетель

A book for reading in English.
In the house of a blind teacher, a stenographer sent from the bureau finds a corpse. An employee of the Foreign Intelligence Service passing by on official business gets caught up in the investigation of... this murder. For some reason, there are many more clocks at the crime scene than there were before. What are the extra hours for? Who was killed and why? And most importantly, who? What does the stenographer have to do with it? How did an unknown corpse end up in the house? Scotland Yard cannot find answers to these questions, the intelligence agency is powerless, and a bored Hercule Poirot, who is rereading classic detective novels in his spare time, hardly leaving the house, finds the murderers, traces the fate of a large inheritance, uncovers a spy network, and ties all the ends together. The simple language, tightly woven plot, elegant denouement, glossary, and comments will give detective lovers in unadapted English a chance to spend a few pleasant hours in the company of the most famous Belgian.
