Death on the Nile is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club on November 1, 1937 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company the following year. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence and the US edition at $2.00.
With the novel being set in Egypt the front covers can give us plenty of insight into images of Egypt in the twentieth century. Some of the covers, of course, are nothing to do with Egypt - instead focusing on the glamorous woman or the image of Poirot himself. The cover from 1978 is a tie in to the movie starting Peter Ustinov as Hercule and the gorgeous David Niven as Colonel Race.
