Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. One of his fellow passengers is very likely the murderer.
Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer before they decide to strike again.
