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?
