"The young adventurers we called ourselves. Doesn't seem real now, does it?": First Edition of Agatha Christie's Postern of Fate
First edition of Agatha Christie’s Postern of Fate, the final novel published during her lifetime and the last appearance of her beloved detective duo Tommy and Tuppence Beresford. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Margaret Murray.
Postern of Fate (1973) by Agatha Christie is the final novel featuring the husband-and-wife detective team Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, and the last novel Christie published during her lifetime. The story begins when the couple, now retired, purchase an old country house and discover a collection of books left behind by a previous occupant. Inside one volume, Tuppence finds a mysterious coded message referring to a “Mary Jordan” who “did not die naturally,” prompting the pair to investigate a decades-old mystery that appears to involve espionage, betrayal, and hidden crimes buried in the past. Blending elements of detective fiction with reflections on memory, aging, and the lingering shadows of history, the novel unfolds as a quiet but intriguing exploration of how long-forgotten secrets can resurface to challenge the present.
