The cursed inheritance!
The story opens with a friend of Hastings & Poirot getting killed almost immediately after he learns of his father's death...and right before he inherits his estate.
Supposedly, there's a curse attached to the family that (because of some wrongdoing by an ancestor) won't let any firstborn son inherit.
Hercule gets a call years later from the mother of a little boy whose father was the next in line for the Lemesurier estate, and inherited it after his cousin was killed. Now, her son appears to be plagued by suspicious life-threatening accidents and her husband seems to think that nothing can be done to offset his son's fate.
It's all very convoluted.
With all the talk of ancient curses and apathetic fathers, can even someone as brilliant as Poirot save the day?
Mais oui! <--duh
