Buchan’s classic man-on-the-run novel, famously adapted to film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1935. A very good copy, neat gift inscription to front free endpaper, and small stamp of previous owner, front hinge cracked but solid, slight wear to extremities, spine slightly faded, some very faint marking to covers.
