Richard Hannay finds a corpse in his flat and becomes involved in a plot by spies to precipitate war and subvert British naval power. The resourceful victim of a manhunt he is pursued by both the police and the ruthless conspirators. The Thirty-Nine Steps is a seminal chase thriller rapid and vivid. It has been widely influential and frequently dramatised: the film directed by Alfred Hitchcock became a screen classic. This engaging novel also provides insights into the inter-action of patriotism fear and prejudice.
