The Thirty-Nine Steps: With 11 Illustrations and a Free Audio Link.

Richard Hannay's boredom is soon relieved when the resourceful engineer is caught up in a web of secret codes, spies, and murder on the eve of WWI. Hannay is warned of an assassination plot that has the potential to take Britain into a war, and then a few days later he discovers the murdered body of the American that warned him in his flat. Hannay becomes the prime suspect. He flees to the moors of Scotland and soon a spirited chase begins as he is pursued by the police and some German spies that are involved in stealing British plans.

This exciting action-adventure story was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's 1939 classic film of the same name.

It is the first of five novels featuring Richard Hannay – an all-action hero with a stiff upper lip and a miraculous knack for getting himself out of sticky situations.
