Description

The Thirty-Nine Steps begins John Buchan's series of spy novels featuring adventurer Richard Hannay. Having just returned from South Africa, he finds life dull until a mysterious American tells him about an assassination plot before being murdered in Hannay's London flat. The obvious suspect, Hannay flees to his native Scotland pursued by the police and his ruthless enemies. His life and the security of Britain are seriously threatened, and it is vital to uncover the mystery behind 'the thirty-nine steps'. Filled with suspense, unexpected twists, and fast-paced action, Buchan's classic novel of 1915 has captivated readers for generations, laying the groundwork for the modern spy thriller genre and inspiring numerous film, TV, stage and radio versions. It is read by Rupert Degas, whose 'quick-change brilliance' in Patrick Barlow's long-running stage adaptation was so highly praised.
