Curtain: Poirot's Last Case[]
Arthritic and immobilized, Hercule Poirot calls on his old friend Captain Hastings to join him at Styles to be the eyes and ears that will feed observations to Hercule Poirot's still razor sharp mind. Though aware of the criminal's identity, Poirot will not reveal it to the frustrated Hastings, and dubs the nameless personage X. Already responsible for several murders, X, Poirot warns, is ready to strike again, and the partners must work swiftly to prevent imminent murder.
