Suntup Editions released three limited editions of this work: an artist edition (unnumbered, but with a limitation stated on the colophon); numbered edition (numbered on the colophon), and lettered edition (lettered on the colophon). In general, Suntup's numbered and lettered editions are more elaborately designed, and signed by more contributors than the artist editions. Considered to be one of Agatha Christie's most controversial mysteries, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd breaks all the rules of traditional mystery writing. A widow's suicide has stirred rumors of blackmail, and of a secret lover named Roger Ackroyd, who was found stabbed to death in his study. The case is so unconventional that not even crack detective Hercule Poirot has a clue as to how to solve it.
