THE
THIRTY-NINE STEPS (97 KB)
Fiction,
mystery and detective novels
In this novel
spy-catcher Richard Hannay has all the qualities of a hero, who can
defend the English way of life against foreign thread. He is a
37-year-old wealthy Scot, who meets an American journalist, named
Scudder, who tells of an international assassination plan. Scudder is
murdered, and Hannay realizes that he is the prime suspect. He flees to
Scotland, and hides there from the police and the foreign conspirators
and other anarchists. Hannay guesses that Scudders's cryptic note
("Thirty-nine steps - I counted them - High tide 10:17 p.m.")
refers to the location of the anarchists' beach house. The conspirators
are arrested. It is an exciting
adventure with narrow escapes and the last-minute solution of a deep
mystery. |
