Sobre este artículo
New York: Popular Library, 1963. First Printing, First Edition Thus. . Mass Market Paperback. Good Plus to Very Good. Vintage Paperback, Popular Library K58. The first of Buchan's suspense novels featuring British adventurer, Richard Hannay, originally published in 1915, is now considered a classic of the genre and one as readable today as it was nearly a hundred years ago. Hannay, in London only three months after growing up in South Africa, had only one clue to the cult called Black Stone, a few words --"Thirty-nine steps - I counted them." scrawled by a dead man. And not the least of Hannay's troubles was he was a fugitive, wanted for murder. Text is clean and unmarked, tight and square, with a couple of damp stains on the fore edge and lightly age-tanned margins. The pictorial wrappers, with cover art by William Teason, are worn but whole, without tears or chipping or significant creasing. A collectable copy.
Sinopsis
Richard Hannay has just returned to England after years in South Africa and is thoroughly bored with his life in London. But then a murder is committed in his flat, just days after a chance encounter with an American who had told him about an assassination plot which could have dire international consequences. An obvious suspect for the police and an easy target for the killers, Hannay goes on the run in his native Scotland where he will need all his courage and ingenuity to stay one step ahead of his pursuers.
