Recalled from active service on the Western Front, Richard Hannay is
sent undercover on a crucial secret mission to find a dangerous German
agent at large in Britain. Disguised as a pacifist, Hannay travels from
London to Glasgow to the Scottish Highlands and Islands in his search,
which eventually ends in a spectacular climax above the battlefields of
Europe. John Buchan's inside knowledge of trench warfare and government
intelligence lend a formidable realism to this superlative spy story.
This is a nail-biting classic from a master storyteller.
