The Mystery of the Baghdad Chest (Hercule Poirot short story)
~ Prose
Annotation
The original version of "The Regatta Mystery" featured Hercule Poirot. The story was later rewritten by Christie to change the detective from Poirot to Parker Pyne for book publication and all collections in both the US and UK contain the Pyne version of the story.
The original Poirot version appeared in the 3 May 1936 edition of the Hartford Courant newspaper with an uncredited illustration.
It surfaced again in 2008 as part of the three-volume Harper collection, Agatha Christie: The Complete Short Stories – Masterpieces in Miniature as the postscript to the Poirot volume.
