The Island of Sheep - Buchan, John

A long-forgotten promise made by Richard Hannay finds him honour-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 tranquillity 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.
