How are art thieves connected with a schoolgirl who goes missing for a few hours on a field trip?
Poirot will help his old friend Inspector Japp find out.
A painting of The Girdle of Hyppolita has been stolen! Poirot takes the job and in the meantime figures out what happened to a schoolgirl who was found drugged and wandering along the side of the road. How are these stories interconnected? Well, the answer to that lies in some missing shoes.
It's an alright story, but I never connected with any of the characters in it.
Originally published in 1939 in This Week magazine, then put together with 11 other stories in 1947 and published as The Labours of Hercules.
These 12 cases are chosen by Poirot as his own labors of Hercules that he will undertake before his supposed retirement.
