Soon to be a Prime original limited series starring Rufus Sewell and Kaya Scodelario! In the classic mystery by Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie, an elderly priest is murdered, quite possibly doomed by a woman's deathbed confession and by the secrets kept safely locked behind closed doors of a mysterious local pub. When an elderly priest is murdered, the killer searches the victim so roughly that his already ragged cassock is torn in the process. What was the killer looking for? And what had a dying woman confided to the priest on her deathbed only hours earlier? Mark Easterbrook and his sidekick Ginger Corrigan are determined to find out. Maybe the three women who run The Pale Horse public house, and who are rumored to practice the "Dark Arts, " can provide some answers.

The Pale Horse

The Pale Horse by Agatha Christie features a new narrator, Mark Easterbrook, a historian working on the Moguls. Mark sees a fight between two girls and later learns that one of the girls has died. This leads to the death of a priest, Father Gorman, and a list of many individuals. The people on the list have all died supposedly of natural causes, but Mark and a police surgeon, Jim Corrigan believe that foul play hides among all these deaths. The Pale Horse, an old bar/inn hovers in the background as a source of the deaths. The poison, thallium, jumps into the equation, as this poison causes loss of hair. Also, three older woman, believed to be witches, create seances and all manner of bewitching gems. Mark, Jim, and Marks’ new friend Ginger, rush to discover the culprit of the poison and why. A delightful story that omits Marple and Poirot.
