Description

A mysterious invitation sets the tone for this gripping classic mystery. In 1930, eight guests arrive at a luxurious penthouse apartment, only to discover that their host remains invisible, communicating with them through radio broadcasts. The Host's chilling prophecy unfolds: one of the guests will die every hour, and the remaining survivors must navigate a web of tension and suspicion. As the deaths occur in bizarre and gruesome ways, the guests' confessions to each other may hold the key to understanding why they were chosen for this macabre evening. But can any of them survive, including the Host? This innovative and unusual mystery from the golden age of crime fiction will keep you on the edge of your seat. First published in 1930, The Invisible Host has been adapted into a play and a Hollywood movie. A fascinating study of its influence on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is included in this new edition.
