When a loathsome tourist is murdered in full view of her fellow sightseers, Poirot doesn't question who did it, but rather, who wouldn't have? Among the towering red cliffs and the ancient ruins of Petra, like some monstrous swollen Buddha, sat the corpse of Mrs. Boynton, the cruel and tyrannizing matriarch of the Boynton family. A tiny puncture mark on her wrist is the only sign of the fatal injection that killed her. With only twenty-four hours to solve the mystery, Hercule Poirot recalls a remark he overheard back in Jerusalem: "You do see, don't you, that she's got to be killed?" Mrs. Boynton was, indeed, the most detestable woman he had ever met. Description in Spanish: Mrs. Boynton es una mujer entrada en aΓ±os que mΓ‘s que gobernar, esclaviza a sus hijastros ya mayores. Pero ella es la dueΓ±a del dinero y, hasta su muerte, todos deberΓ‘n girar a su alrededor. En el transcurso de un viaje a las ruinas de Petra, los Boynton coinciden con otros viajeros entre los que estΓ‘ Poirot. Cuando el grupo vuelve de la excursiΓ³n, a la que la anciana no ha acudido, la encuentran muerta a la puerta de su tienda. Todos tienen motivos para desear su muerte, todos son sospechosos.
