"Death on the Nile” sleuth (6)

I believe the answer is:

poirot

(Other definitions for poirot that I've seen before include "Hercule . . . . . ., Agatha Christie's detective" , "... and her male one" , "10 [SLEUTH]" , "Fill; live in" , "Hercule --, fictional detective" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
