John Buchan (1875–1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and statesman whose writing combined high adventure and vivid landscapes with moral purpose. Born in Perth on 26 August 1875 and passing away in Montreal on 11 February 1940, he wrote more than a hundred books, held public office including Governor General of Canada, and is best remembered for The Thirty-Nine Steps, which helped define the modern thriller.
In The Thirty‑Nine Steps, author John Buchan launches his rugged hero Richard Hannay into a breathless chase: when a man he just met is murdered in his flat and leaves behind a deadly secret, Hannay finds himself on the run across Britain, accused of that murder and racing to thwart an espionage plot of global dimensions. The narrative thrust rarely lets up, driving the reader from London’s fog to wild Scottish moors and beyond.
