Thirty-Nine Steps (2026)

A thrilling blend of adventure and spy novel, The Thirty-Nine Steps has remained in print since its first publication in 1915 and has been adapted for the stage and screen several times, including in Alfred Hitchcocks famous film adaptation. One night, ordinary fellow Richard Hannay returns home to find a dead body. He recognizes the murdered man as his American neighbour, who only a few days earlier warned him about a secretive organization planning an assassination that could plunge the country into war. Afraid of becoming a suspect but determined to thwart the plot, Hannay escapes in disguise and goes on the run. Hunted by both the police and villains from England to Scotland, he must outwit his enemies and protect his country. This edition belongs to the Macmillan Collectors Library, a series of cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold-foiled edges and ribbon markers.
