In this retelling for younger readers, Richard Hannay is a Canadian
visitor to 1930's London. After a disturbance at a music hall, he meets
Annabella Smith, who is on the run from foreign agents. He takes her
back to his apartment, but they are followed, and later that night
Annabella is murdered. Hannay then goes on the run to break the spy ring
and to prove his innocence.
