A classic Agatha Christie short story from the collection The Golden Ball and Other Stories.

Jane Cleveland is in desperate need of a job, and when she sees an ad for a woman of her description needed to impersonate a grand duchess, she cannot believe her luck.

Jane’s disguise initially goes according to plan, but when she is kidnapped and drugged, it appears that her new employers are not all that they seem…
