Młodzi Boyntonowie byli całkowicie zdominowani przez macochę – złą kobietę, opanowaną patologiczną żądzą władzy; za młodu była strażniczką więzienną – teraz jak w więzieniu trzyma swoją rodzinę, odmawiając pasierbom spadku po ojcu i swobody. Tyrania pani Boynton wypaczyła charaktery jej ofiar – najmłodsza córka ma początki schizofrenii. „Trzeba ją zabić” – słyszy Hercules Poirot pewnej nocy w Jerozolimie. W czasie wycieczki po Ziemi Świętej pani Boynton umiera. Czy to śmierć naturalna, czy morderstwo? Poirot ma dwadzieścia cztery godziny na rozwiązanie zagadki.
