They Came to Baghdad is an adventure novel by Agatha Christie, first published in the United Kingdom by the Collins Crime Club on 5 March 1951[1] and in the United States by Dodd, Mead and Company later in the same year.[2][3] The UK edition retailed at eight shillings and sixpence (8/6)[4] and the US edition at $2.50.[3]
The book was inspired by Christie's own trips to Baghdad with her second husband, archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan, and is also one of few Christie novels belonging to the action and spy fiction genres, rather than to mysteries and whodunnits.
