The Big Four at Wikisource
The structure of the novel is different from other Poirot stories, as it
began from twelve short stories (eleven in the US) that had been separately
published. This is a tale of international intrigue and espionage, therefore
opening up the possibility of more spy fiction from Christie.
Chief inspector Japp has become Assistant Commissioner.
Superintendent of Police 警視監
Assistant commissioner, an individual who has been given
an official charge or authority.
Assistant commissioner (police), rank used in police forces.
Assistant commissioner (administration), rank used in revenue
administrations.
