Thirty-Nine Steps
This lean historical espionage thriller follows a determined, resourceful man who is wrongfully accused of murder and forced to flee across war-torn Scotland as enemies close in. Grounded in duty to country over self, it intertwines a tense, atmospheric chase with sharp, economical writing.
