Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. Gerard continued: "We see it all round us to-day - in political creeds, in the conduct of nations. A reaction from humanitarianism - from pity - from brotherly good-will. The creeds sound well sometimes - a wise régime - a beneficent government - but imposed by FORCE - resting on a basis of cruelty and fear. They are opening the door, these apostles of violence, they are letting up the old savagery, the old delight in cruelty FOR ITS OWN SAKE! Oh, it is difficult - Man is an animal very delicately balanced. He has one prime necessity - to survive. To advance too quickly is as fatal as to lag behind. He must survive! He must, perhaps, retain some of the old savagery, but he must not - no definitely he must not - DEIFY it!" There was a pause. Then Sarah said: "You think old Mrs. Boynton is a kind of Sadist?"

Fear no more the heat o' the sun, Nor the furious winter's rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone, and ta'en thy wages... (Klik for at vise Advarsel: Kan indeholde afsløringer.) | |

Mrs. Boynton holder sine voksne børn i et jerngreb, men en dag bliver hun myrdet. Mon det var en af dem, der gjorde det? Sønnerne Raymond og Lennox. Lennox' kone Nadine og de 2 døtre, storesøsteren Carol og den rødhårede Ginevra, kaldet Ginny. Alle børnene er økonomisk afhængig af Mrs Boynton. I kulissen finder vi blandt andet en doktor Gerard, en nyuddannet læge Sarah White og en Lady Westholme.
Hercule Poirot er på ferie i Jerusalem og bliver kaldt til Petra, hvor drabet fandt sted. Han finder til sidst ud af at Lady Westholme må være den skyldige, og at motivet er at undgå afsløring af at hun har været i fængsel. Mrs Boynton var nemlig tidligere fængselsbetjent og havde genkendt hende.
Lady Westholme begår selvmord for at undgå vanæren.
