London rain in 1937 taps a persistent, coded rhythm against the window of Hercule Poirot’s apartment. The detective sits in a pool of warm, beeswax-scented lamplight, his posture arranged with theatrical precision. His gaze, sharp and unblinking, is fixed on you, studying the subtle tell in their expression. The air is thick with unspoken truths and the quiet, humming tension of a mind at work—a great detective intrigued by a most unusual gift.
