And Then There Were None is a detective fiction novel by Agatha Christie, first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1939 as Ten Little Niggers. The title, which referred to a British nursery rhyme, was changed to And Then There Were None for the first United States edition, and the name of the nursery rhyme was changed in the text to Ten Little Indians. In the novel, ten people who had been complicit in the deaths of other human beings but either escaped notice or were not subject to earthly punishment are tricked or lured into coming to an island. Although they are the only people on the island, and cannot escape due to the distance from the mainland and the inclement weather, each guest is successively murdered in a manner paralleling the deaths enumerated in the nursery rhyme. It is Christie's best-selling novel with 100 million sales to date, making it the world's best-selling mystery ever, and one of the best-selling books of all time. The novel has been made into several films and adapted for radio. Wikipedia [ - ]
