DESCRIPTION
Black Coffee is a novelisation by the Australian born writer and opera expert Charles Osborne of the 1930 play of the same name by crime fiction author Agatha Christie.The novelisation was first published in the United Kingdom by HarperCollins on 2 November 1998 and in the United States by St. Martin's Press on 31 December 1998. It features Christie's famous literary creation Hercule Poirot, a London-based Belgian private detective.Until the 1998 publication of the novel, the play on which it was based was one of the least known pieces in the Christie canon.
