Summary
 Richard Hannay’s routine London life is shattered when a panicked neighbour arrives with tales of a ring of spies—and is promptly murdered in Hannay's flat. Framed for the crime, Hannay flees to the wild Scottish moors, pursued by both the police and ruthless foreign operatives in a classic cat-and-mouse chase across heather and crags.

This audio edition is brought to life by a calm, measured Scottish voice, bringing a quiet authenticity to Hannay’s understated grit and the high-country air. It also includes an extra chapter reflecting on the thriller's enduring legacy. A rich, timeless listening experience for a quiet evening. 20th Century Amateur Sleuths Espionage Historical Fiction Mystery Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense World War I
