Synopsis

Richard Hannay is a Canadian visitor to 1930's London. After a disturbance at a music hall, he meets Annabella Smith who is on the run from foreign agents. He takes her back to his apartment, but they are followed and later that night Annabella is murdered. Hannay goes on the run to break the spy ring and to prove his innocence. Express Classics is a fast-moving and accessible series that offers a quick way into a range of classic novels. Each story is a shortened, dramatically illustrated version of the original book and loses none of the strength and flavour of the original.
