—The Crime Writer Unravels a Series of Mysterious Murders in the Deserts of Iraq—
In the late 1920s, Agatha Christie, bruised from her divorce, travels to the deserts of Iraq for an archaeological dig. Looking for escape and inspiration for a new career, Christie (Lyndsey Marshal) begins writing romantic fiction instead of the detective novels that had made her a celebrity. But soon she becomes involved in unraveling a series of mysterious murders. Jonah Hauer-King (WORLD ON FIRE) portrays Max Mallowan, a handsome archaeologist determined to win Agatha's affection despite a 14-year age gap.
Directed by Sam Yates and shot on location in Malta, “Agatha And The Curse Of Ishtar” was created by Tom and Emily Dalton, the husband-and-wife team behind “Agatha And The Truth Of Murder.”
