This is an auction for "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?" by AGATHA CHRISTIE.

From Wikipedia:

"Why Didn't They Ask Evans? is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie, first published in 1934... Bobby Jones, the son of the vicar of the Welsh seaside town of Marchbolt, is playing a game of golf with a friend. He chips the ball over a cliff edge and when he goes to look for the ball he sees a man lying unconscious below. Bobby's companion goes for help while Bobby stays with the badly injured man. The man soon dies, but not before briefly regaining consciousness and saying “Why didn’t they ask Evans?” This, and a photograph of a beautiful woman Bobby finds in the man's coat pocket, are the only clues to his identity. While Bobby is waiting with the body another man finds him there. He introduces himself as Roger Bassington-ffrench and offers to stay with the body so Bobby will not be late to play the organ at his father's church... In 2008, ITV announced a new adaptation, with Patrick Barlow adapting Christie's novel into a two-hour television film starring Julia McKenzie as Miss Marple, who does not appear in the original novel..."
