Hercule Poirot is Agatha Christie's primary detective, appearing in over 40 books. He was born in Belgium and has worked as a Belgian police officer, but moved to England after the war and started a second carrier as a private detective.
He meets what turns out to be a life-long partner, Arthur Hastings, almost immediately after arriving to England.
