Towards Zero

Towards Zero

Towars Zero es un novela policial escrita por Agatha Christie y publicado por primera vez en Estados Unidos por Dodd, Mead and Company en 1944 y en Reino Unido por Collins Crime Club en julio de ese mismo año. La versión estadounidense costaba $ 2.00 y la edición inglesa en siete chelines y seis peniques (7/6).

En el libro se destaca la aparición del personaje recurrente Superintendente Battle. El libro se hace novedoso cuando tras leer buena parte de este y llegar prácticamente al final, recién el lector se entera que todo lo pasado es el preludio del verdadero crimen que està por cometerse. Esa es la razón del título "Hacia cero" y encierra una visión filosófica de entender el mundo anticipándose a lo que actualemente se conoce como Teoría del caos. Peor aun cuando, como es tradicional en Agatha Christie, el sospechoso probable deja de serlo en forma melodramática a páginas del fin .
