作者簡介

商品簡介

A long-forgotten promise made by Richard Hannay finds him honor-bound to resolve a violent vendetta in which the lives of a young father and his daughter are in danger from unscrupulous and desperate men. Hannay sets out on a high-octane chase from the rural tranquility of his English manor to the Scottish Borders and, ultimately, to Scandinavia. On the remote Island of Sheep, a final confrontation takes place and everything is decided—once and for all. This, the last of the Hannay adventures—and the last of Buchan's novels to be published during his lifetime—is a rare gem of high drama interwoven with Buchan's personal beliefs about the problems of a post-war world.

作者簡介

John Buchan was a Scottish diplomat, barrister, journalist, historian, poet and novelist. He published nearly 30 novels and seven collections of short stories. He was born in Perth, an eldest son, and studied at Glasgow and Oxford. In 1901 he became a barrister of the Middle Temple and a private secretary to the High Commissioner for South Africa. In 1907 he married Susan Charlotte Grosvenor and they subsequently had four children. After spells as a war correspondent, Lloyd George's Director of Information and Conservative MP, Buchan moved to Canada in 1935. He served as Governor General there until his death in 1940. Andrew Lownie was educated in Edinburgh. He is the author of John Buchan: The Presbyterian Cavalier, and has edited Buchan's poetry and short stories. He lives in London where he works as a literary agent.
