December, 1926. A new mystery-thriller, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by a relatively new writer, Agatha Christie, is the toast of literary London. But Mrs Christie's personal life is in ruins. Her husband wants a divorce so that he can marry his secretary. Suddenly and mysteriously Agatha Christie disappears. What may have happened during the next 11 days is as suspenseful as anything she wrote.
