The Pale Horse is a work of detective fiction by British writer Agatha Christie, first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on 6 November 1961,[1] and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year.[2][3] The UK edition retailed at fifteen shillings (15/- = 75p)[1] and the US edition at $3.75.[3] The novel features her novelist detective Ariadne Oliver as a minor character, and reflects in tone the supernatural novels of Dennis Wheatley who was then at the height of his popularity. The Pale Horse is mentioned in Revelation 6:8, where it is ridden by Death.
