Review:
'Buchan showed the way. His pace and drive always spelled adventure, always writ large' --Graham Greene

'Buchan was a major influence on my work' Alfred Hitchcock talking to François Truffaut --Alfred Hitchcock talking to François Truffaut

'The Hannay books are . . . about penetration of the enemy, about lonely escape and wild journeys, about the thin veneer that stands between civilisation and barbarism even in the most elegant drawing-room in London' --Robin W Winks
Synopsis:
Following the end of the First World War Richard Hannay, the hero of John Buchan's "The Thirty-Nine Steps", "Greenmantle" and "Mr Standfast", has retired to the Cotswolds with his wife and young son. There, news comes to him of three kidnappings and a plot of political and financial magnitude that would shake the world. Hannay abandons his Gloucestershire idyll to counter the threat, and the adventure takes him from the frenetic dance-halls and high society of 1920's London to a gripping climax in the wild Scottish Highlands where he meets his most formidable enemy.
