The first victim is Alice Ascher, who runs a tobacco store in Andover. Waitress Betty Barnard from Bexhill is murdered next. The third victim is Sir Carmichael Clarke from Churston. Poirot wonders why the notes were sent to him instead of the police. He goes to meet Sir Carmichael Clarke's wife, who is a cancer patient and soon comes to the conclusion that all the three crimes had one thing in common. On the day of the crime, a man selling silk stockings was present.
