The Thirty-Nine Steps

By John Buchan

A gripping story of a man, Richard Hannay,  who returns to his flat one night to discover a dead body. Just hours before the victim had told him of a plot to bring Britain to war. Now Hannay is a murder suspect and pursued by powerful people with underhand aims.

Originally published in 1915 this is a great example of the timeless nature of a good thriller story. It has become a bit of a classic over the years. 

At just over 100 pages it's a slim but gripping story, that won't have you spending weeks on the read.

This is a beautiful edition in very good condition.
