Encyclopedia > Colonel Race

Colonel Race is a fictional character created by British mystery novelist Agatha Christie.


Race was a highly intelligent ex-Army colonel who had a stint as a leader of the British spy agency MI5. The colonel starred as a detective in four of Christie's books, most notably as Hercule Poirot's good friend in Cards on the Table and Death on the Nile. He is known for his patience, composure, and ability to quickly detect facts without anyone else noticing.


His first name is never given.

Colonel Waddell was a very entertaining writer and possessed great literary ability; he was the author of a number of biographies, and contributed to many of the literary magazines of the day.
I have sent messengers of both races out into the surrounding woods, where, it is said, fugitives are in hiding, begging the people to come back to their homes, and to rest assured they will be protected in their persons and their property.
