1. Introduction
====================================================================
You are Antoinette Marceau, a junior clerk with the famed Express
line stretching from Paris to the Orient. You are tasked by your
employer with aiding the great Belgian detective Hercule Poirot as
he returns to his adopted England from a sojourn in the East. All
does not go smoothly, however - an avalanche traps the train in the
remote Yugoslavian mountains, and a rather unsavory passenger is
murdered in his sleep! Who wanted him dead, and why? Luckily, you
do not have to solve this mystery alone - you have the inimitable
little grey cells of Hercule Poirot, who himself was sidelined in
the avalanche, at your disposal! Will it be enough? Will you be
able to live up to the clever Belgian's expectations?
