… the novel «Hollow» was released with a dedication to a certain Larry and Danae, containing an apology for the fact that the author used their pool as a crime scene
Hercule Poirot is invited to relax on the weekend at the estate of his friend, Lady Enkeithll, which bears the name «Hollow». Arriving at the place, the detective sees an amazing sculptural composition, created, it would seem, especially for his arrival. Dr. Kristow lies picturesquely in a pool of red paint, his wife Gerda stands over him with a pistol, and the rest of the guests froze around in a «silent pause.» However, reality had nothing to do with art: the red paint turned out to be blood, and the gun in the woman’s hands was real.

All evidence points to Kristow’s wife. But Poirot senses: something is wrong here …
