An Agatha Christie short story from the collection The Harlequin Tea Set and Other Stories.
In the excruciating heat of the African sun, George Crozier is traveling with his new wife, Deidre. They have not been married long, and George is aware that his wife's thoughts are with her first husband, who was killed in this part of Africa during the War. In this hauntingly beautiful tale, Deidre is forced to confront the reality of her circumstances: "While the light lasts I shall remember, and in the darkness I shall not forget."
A macabre recurring dream... revenge against a blackmailer... jealousy, infidelity and a tortured conscience... a stolen gemstone... the haunting attraction of an ancient relic... a rece against time... a tragic love triangle... a body in a box... an unexpected visitor from beyond the grave... Nine quintessential examples of Agatha Christie's brilliance are contained in this new collection of early short stories - including the very first one she ever wrote - and provide a unique glimpse of the Queen of Crime in the making
Que nadie espere encontrar solo a la Agatha Cristhie de las novelas de detectives. Hay historias sentimentales, alguna de misterio... que se leen bien y que anticipan a la escritora que todos conocemos. ( )

This is the story of John Segrave – of his life, which was unsatisfactory; of his love, which was unsatisfied; of his dreams, and of his death; and if in the two latter he found what was denied in the two former, then his life may, after all, be taken as a success. (The House of Dreams)
