And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None is a thriller novel written by the English author Agatha Christie that she describes as the hardest of her works to write. On November 6, 1939, the Collins Crime Club released Ten Little Niggers, named for the children's counting rhyme and minstrel song that serves as a crucial narrative element. The US rendition was issued in January 1940 under the title And Then There Were None, which was derived from the song's final five lyrics. That title has been adopted in subsequent American reprints and adaptations, however, Pocket Books paperbacks used the title Ten Little Indians between 1964 and 1986. The original title was used in UK versions until 1985.

With over 100 million copies sold, the novel is the world's best-selling thriller and one of the best-selling books of all time. The novel is the sixth best-selling publication in the world (any language, including reference works).
