Huntingtower - Paperback

Huntingtower is a novel by John Buchan, first published in 1922. The book is set in Scotland and follows the adventures of Dickson McCunn, a retired grocer who becomes embroiled in a series of thrilling escapades. When McCunn travels to the small town of Huntingtower, he becomes involved with a group of exiled Russians who are being pursued by the Soviet secret police. McCunn, with his resourcefulness and quick thinking, helps the Russians evade their pursuers and leads them to safety. Along the way, he also becomes involved in a local election and a treasure hunt. The novel is full of action, adventure, and humor, and is considered one of Buchan's most entertaining works. It is also notable for its sympathetic portrayal of the Russian characters, at a time when anti-Soviet sentiment was high in the West. Huntingtower has been adapted for film and television several times, and remains a beloved classic of Scottish literature.He was already suspect, and the sight of him back again in Dalquharter would double that suspicion.
