Inhaltsangabe

In this fast-paced spy thriller, a self-described "ordinary fellow" stumbles upon a plot involving not only espionage and murder but also the future of Britain itself. This classic of suspense served as the basis for one of Hitchcock's most famous films and was the first novel in the author's Greenmantle series.
