Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1936, "La Serie Infernale" è un giallo di Agatha Christie che ha come protagonisti Hercule Poirot e il suo fedele amico, il capitano Arthur Hastings. Un serial killer sta uccidendo barbaramente degli innocenti che sceglie attenendosi ad un folle criterio: segue l'ordine alfabetico delle iniziali del loro nome e della città dove vivono, è così la prima vittima è Alice Asher di Andover, la seconda è Betty Barnard di Bexhill, la terza è Sir Carmichael Clark di Churston e poi... ci sarà anche un quarto omicidio a Doncaster, l'ultimo della serie.

Barbara Chessner is down on her luck, up several dress sizes, drowning herself in Bloody Mary’s and, worst of all, has just been dumped by her husband.

The next morning, Barbara wakes up with golden hair (not her own premature gray), perfect pitch (she's tone deaf), a strange black dog (registered to her), no double chin, a waistline...and definite cleavage!
