Where do I come from? What’s my past? Wonders Hercule Poirot, the greatest investigator in the world. To find out, he will have to investigate the past of his author, starting from her childhood: Agatha Christie. Through 10 clues, spread throughout the story, Hercule manages to understand many things about the great English writer, and consequently the nature and investigative genius of his character. Who was the figure of the bandit who visited the dreams of little Agatha? And that of the Older Sister who took the place of the real Madge and terrified her with her mellifluous voice? Well, as Poirot tells us, Agatha’s imagination was running fast and the passion for fear was evident since she was a little girl. Left free to grow freely in the beautiful residence of Ahfield, little Agatha developed all the typical characteristics of the perfect writer: love for mysteries, passion for books, empty time to invent, curiosity. Hercule investigates the memories of his creator, going from the years in England to those in France and down to Egypt. He reveals the background of the first attempts at writing and the potential to become perhaps the greatest crime writer in the world, precisely through one of the 10 clues: the ability to grasp and remember every little detail.
