English novelist Agatha Christie published 66 detective novels throughout her career, most featuring popular detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Christie's estate claims that her works come third in the rankings of the world's most-widely published books, behind only Shakespeare's works and the Bible, and she is generally considered the greatest crime novelist of all time. A collection of twelve short stories, mostly tales of fate and the supernatural, The Hound of Death and Other Stories contains the first appearance of Christie's legendary story The Witness for the Prosecution which the author subsequently adapted for the stage and was later adapted to the 1957 film starring Marlene Dietrich.
