John Buchan The Thirty-Nine Steps (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

As war looms in Europe, Richard Hannay returns from Rhodesia to his home in London. His neighbor, an American freelance spy named Franklin Scudder, claims to know of an assassination plot to destabilize Europe. When Hannay finds Scudder dead in his flat he is drawn into a fastpaced labyrinthine adventure that takes him from the hills of Scotland to an unassuming location by the sea. The progenitor of the classic manontherun thriller, The ThirtyNine Steps first appeared as a serial adventure story in Blackwoods Magazine from August to September 1915 and in book form in October of that year. Since its publication it has never been out of print and has been frequently adapted for television, radio, theater, and film, including, quite famously, a 1935 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. | John Buchan The Thirty-Nine Steps (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)
