To wrap up season five, Poirot's plans for a prescribed beach break to Brighton are scuppered when he's drawn in to investigate a jewel robbery...at the Grand Metropolitan hotel.

When a set of valuable pearls are taken from a locked box in a hotel room, it looks like only two people could have done it. But how did the culprit manage to get the necklace without the key and with limited time? And how has the necklace seemingly vanished into thin air?
