Synopsis

A self-described “ordinary fellow” finds himself caught up in a plot that reaches beyond espionage and murder to the future of Britain itself. Written with the urgency of a true page-turner, the story’s escalating tension helped secure its place as a landmark in suspense fiction.

The novel later provided the basis for one of Alfred Hitchcock’s most famous films, and it is described here as the first novel in the author’s Greenmantle series. With its close ties to film and cinema, it suits readers drawn to classic thrillers and screen adaptations.
