Abstract | Agatha Christie's last-written Hercule Poirot novels, Hallowe'en Party (1969) and Elephants Can Remember (1972), enact a social and cultural anxiety arising from the problems of modernity and the need to know and understand the past so as to prevent its traumatic return. Only in this way can the detective enact justice. |
