Summary
Previously published in the print anthology Partners in Crime. During a lull in business, Tommy and Tuppence amuse themselves by perusing the paper's personal columns. One cryptic ad reads, "Three hearts … 12 tricks … Ace of Spades … finesse the King." Tommy is certain it is a secret message indicating a crime about to be committed.
