A little about the story
A visitor's story and sudden death put Richard Hannay on the run with information that could affect Britain's security.
Hannay must often choose a disguise or a route before he has time to establish whom he can trust. The tension comes from seeing whether his knowledge of ordinary places and people can help him stay ahead of an organised pursuit.
