''Cat Among the Pigeons'' is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 2 November 1959,〔Chris Peers, Ralph Spurrier and Jamie Sturgeon. ''Collins Crime Club – A checklist of First Editions''. Dragonby Press (Second Edition) March 1999 (Page 15)〕 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company in March 1960 with a copyright date of 1959.〔(American Tribute to Agatha Christie )〕 The UK edition retailed at twelve shillings and sixpence (12/6),〔 and the US edition at US$2.95.〔 It features Christie's Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, who makes a very late appearance in the final third of the novel. The emphasis on espionage in the early part of the novel relates it to Christie's international adventures (such as ''They Came to Baghdad'') and to the Tommy and Tuppence stories. ==Plot introduction== At the start of the summer term at Meadowbank School for Girls, the most prestigious prep school in England, Miss Bulstrode, the popular but aging headmistress, has no reason to believe that the challenges facing her on parent’s day will be more than the occasional irate or inebriated parent. She scarcely listens when Mrs Upjohn, a parent, looks out the window and recognizes on the school campus someone she had known from her wartime days in military intelligence.
