The sole witness that could have saved an innocent convict from his fate recovers from amnesia to discover it’s too late to save the man. However, he stands a chance to catch the criminal. Ordeal by Innocence is a mystery novel by the mistress of murder, Agatha Christie. Summary of the Book Dr. Arthur Calgary recovers from amnesia to make a startling announcement. He alone could have saved a man from a terrible fate: conviction for a murder he’d never committed. Jacko Argyle had been thrown into prison for the murder of his mother. The trial had scandalized the nation, and only Dr. Calgary could have provided Jacko the alibi he desperately needed. Jacko died in prison, but there is still one matter remaining that Dr. Calgary can help understand. Someone else killed Jacko’s mother, and the killer is still at large. Considered to be one of Agatha Christie’s personal favourites, this novel tackles aspects of the murder mystery that prove again that Dame Christie’s title is well-earned.
