The A.B.C. Murders (1936) is a detective novel by Agatha Christie featuring Hercule Poirot.
In the ABC murders an apparent serial killer is murdering apparently random people in order of their names: first Alice Ascher of Andover, second Betty Barnard of Bexhill, third Sir Carmichael Clarke of Churston, and so on. At the place of each murder, an ABC railway guide is placed next to the dead body. Letters are sent to Poriot that tell him where and when each murder will take place. But Poriot always arives too late.
