A Very Dangerous Pursuit

A prequel to the Thirty-Nine Steps

It's April 1912, and Richard Hannay is in a spot of bother. Hidden in a humble washbag is a code that may tip the balance of power in Europe. Can he slip the clutches of the evil Count Schwabing? Or those of Zara, the exotic enchantress? From Constantinople to Paris, the pursuit tightens, loyalties blur, and history approaches with the steadiness of a ship that can't possibly sink.
