The Dedication of Evil Under the Sun to Steven Glanville

The book is dedicated to Peter and Peggy McCloud, doctors who ran the hospital in Mosul when Agatha and her husband were there on archaeological digs. The dedication was Christie's gift of friendship during this difficult time. And it's a good reminder that Sad Cypress did indeed make its way into the world in the early years of the Second World War. Just one year later in 1941, Agatha Christie dedicated evil under the sun to John in memory of our last season in Syria.
