Two young adventurers for hire. Willing to do anything, go anywhere.Pay must be good. No reasonable offer refused.
With that bold declaration, Thomas Tommy Beresford and Prudence Tuppence Cowley launch their career as sleuths. The childhood chums, newly reunited in London during the lean years after the Great War, are immediately swept up in a series of thrilling escapades as they search for a secret treaty in the hands of a survivor of the shipwrecked Lusitania. Witty banter highlights their tale of adventure, courage, and suspense, populated by a colorful cast ranging from an American millionaire and a British Intelligence agent to a ring of Bolshevist conspirators headed by a criminal mastermind.
Agatha Christie published The Secret Adversary in 1922 after the success of her very first book, TheMysterious Affair at Styles, which introduced Hercule Poirot. With stolid Tommy and lively Tuppence, Christie created a pair of fan favorites to whom she returned throughout her career; the fun-loving duo appear in three other novels and a collection of short stories, and their exploits have been adapted for stage and screen. The beloved characters' debut offers a light-hearted romp that also recaptures the spirit of its age, as postwar England hovered on the brink of monumental change.

Sized Up, Still great!
My son typically requires a 3x TALL, so I sized up one (4x) but had it gone to a 5x that might have been even better. For reference he is 6 foot tall, 300 lbs, and very broad shouldered (think lineman 🤣) However, the quality and print were so great! He opted for a chain instead of the bowtie because he did a bow tie last year, but that was decent as well. For the price, this is a GREAT buy.

Solid tuxedo tied included
Color: Red, Size: Medium
It looks so sharp! Sleeves were too long for my son but they were on his jacket last year too. It comes with a solid already tied tuxedo tie.

Fits great and looks amazing
Color: Black, Size: Small
This tuxedo jacket is definitely worth the price. I bought this for my son and the size, sleeve length and cut were perfect. We used the size guide and it was spot on. The jacket doesn’t wrinkle easy and is such a beautiful print on the jacket.

Quality & fit (medium for tall slim build)
Color: Wine Red, Size: Medium
Ordered for prom instead of paying $250 to rent nearly the exact same suit at a local store. I ordered a Medium after the Large was too boxy on my son (6'1", 145lbs). Medium was perfect fit. He loved the look and quality. Very pleased. Returning the large jacket was easy as well. Highly recommend to others needing a jacket for prom, wedding, etc.

Great Quality
Color: Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Blue, Size: Medium
My son gave a one day notice that he was attending the prom so I frantically searched for something nice to wear. I did not know what size to get because his measurements do not match the measurements provided by the seller. He is 5’6” and weighs 154. He has a thicker build. After reading several reviews my husband and I decided on size small, however, Amazon told me I should get size medium. I should have chosen size small because this medium is a little too big by probably an inch and a half in both the front and back. We did not have time to alter the jacket, but fortunately, it still fit well.
I am so grateful for Amazon Prime overnight shipping. I also bought his shirt, tie, shoes, and mask from Amazon. The jacket arrived folded in a little zip bag. I was surprised that it wasn’t wrinkled; it only had a few creases that needed to be ironed/steamed out. The jacket is excellent quality and looks the same as the advertised photos. I am very pleased with this last minute desperate purchase!
