Scotsman Richard Hannay has returned to Scotland after many years making his fortune as a mining engineer in South Africa. He makes the acquaintance of an American who warns him about some spies in the area. A few days later, Hannay returns to his apartment to find the American has been murdered. Hannah escapes with his life and goes on the run to England.

This is a classic spy thriller set in 1915, right before WWI. I enjoyed parts of this story; but found other parts slow. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
