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.

The novel The Thirty-Nine Steps has been the basis for a number of successful adaptations, including several films and also a long-running stage play. In 2003 the book was listed on The Big Read poll of UK's "best-loved novels".Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
