Arlena Stuart adorava o sol, e era freqüente ver seu lindo corpo bronzeado estendido na praia, o rosto pousado na areia. Só que desta vez não havia sol... ela tinha sido estrangulada. Desde a chegada de Arlena, Poirot tinha percebido algo diferente entre os veranistas, uma tensão sexual pairando no ar.
