A thrilling blend of adventure and spy novel, The Thirty-Nine Steps has been continuously in print since first publication in 1915 and has been adapted for stage and screen multiple times.
'Ordinary fellow' Richard Hannay returns home one night and is horrified to find a dead body. He recognises the murdered man as his American neighbour who, just a few days earlier, had warned him about a secretive organisation planning an assassination which threatens to plunge the country into war. Fearful of becoming a suspect, but resolved to scupper the plot, Hannay escapes in disguise and goes on the run. Hunted from England to Scotland by police and villains alike, he is determined to outwit his enemies and secure his country's safety. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.Languages:EnglishPublisher:MacMillan Collector's LibraryISBN-13:9781035076567ISBN-10:103507656XUPC:9781035076567Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:Classics, Thrillers, Action & AdventureBook Topic:EspionageSize:5.99 x 3.79 x 0.48 inchesWeight:0.114Product ID:SCD2MM87SJ
