Selected as one of the 100 best novels in English in The Guardian Recently
returned from South Africa, adventurer Richard Hannay is bored with life, but
after a chance encounter with an American who informs him of an assassination
plot and is then promptly murdered in Hannay's London flat, he becomes the
obvious suspect and is forced to go on the run. He heads north to his native
Scotland, fleeing the police and his enemies. Hannay must keep his wits about
him if he is to warn the government before all is too late. This classic spy
thriller sold a million copies before Buchan died in 1940, has been adapted
countless times for film, television and the stage, and features the most
exciting chase in the history of fiction. With an introduction by Stuart Kelly.
