Publisher Description
Three months of carefree life in London has brought Richard Hannay a terrible boredom. Numerous discussions about the weather, restaurants, horse racing and endless tea parties remained the same throughout the whole period. However, suddenly a miracle happened - on the threshold of his house a mysterious stranger appears, telling incredible stories about German spies (the case takes place before the First World War).
Hannay allows a stranger to live in his house and a few days later finds him dead. Suspicion, naturally, falls on him. Hannay decides to escape...
Now even more interesting in this exclusive illustrated edition.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A full cast delivers a gripping performance of John Buchan's classic tale of espionage and intrigue. When Richard Hannay discovers a dead body in his apartment, he's dragged into a dark and dangerous world of global politics, secret societies, and undercover agents. Accused of murder and with the fate of the British fleet resting in his hands, Hannay must elude the police and foreign spies, decode a cryptic notebook, and convince the enigmatic Sir Walter Bullivant to believe his incredible tale. David Robb dazzles as Hannay, delivering a gritty, nuanced performance of a man living a nightmare, and with the addition of dramatic music and a host of pitch-perfect sound effects, this audiobook is highly enjoyable and highly recommended.
