IT all started one afternoon early in May when I came out of the House of Commons with Tommy Deloraine. I had got in by an accident at a by-election, when I was supposed to be fighting a forlorn hope, and as I was just beginning to be busy at the Bar I found my hands pretty full. It was before Tommy succeeded, in the days when he sat for the family seat in Yorkshire, and that afternoon he was in a powerful bad temper. Out of doors it was jolly spring weather; there was greenery in Parliament Square and bits of gay colour, and a light wind was blowing up from the river. Inside a dull debate was winding on, and an advertising member had been trying to get up a row with the Speaker. The contrast between the frowsy place and the cheerful world outside would have impressed even the soul of a Government Whip.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. A Classic of Paranoia By Chris Ward Though not as good as his "The 39 Steps," this lesser effort is still an enjoyable read. Buchan efectively invented the thriller genre, and this short novel follows the rules, though in a somewhat diffident manner. Our hero is a staid lawyer/politician who stumbles upon a conspiracy that finds-- it seems, anyway-- most of the people of London on his tail, seeking his demise. Buchan is businesslike as always, and this is one of his better efforts.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Short Thriller By Jerry Richardson An excellent early thriller from the author of the Thirty-nine Steps. This book is good for bothadults and young adults. I wish someone had introduced this book to me in 7th or 8th grade along with Prester John, Greenmantle, and The Thirty-nine Steps. These books are the forerunners of Eric Ambler's A Coffin for Demetrios, which I also recommend. These books established the thriller genre which led to the techno-thrillers of Clancy and Ing.
