The Labors Of Hercules

A dinner guest compares the labours of Poirot to those of his mythological counterpart, Hercules, the Greek hero. The great detective is not amused. Poirot has already decided to retire, but first he will take on twelve monumental cases in the contemporary world that correspond to the twelve labours of Hercules, as a suitable farewell.

In the final short story, Hercule Poirot once again meets the love of his life, Countess Rossakoff.
