The Power-House

Více o knize

Set in early 20th-century London, this thriller follows Edward Leithen, a barrister and Tory MP, as he navigates a web of intrigue and danger. The narrative, first serialized in 1913, showcases Buchan's skill in creating suspenseful plots against an urban backdrop, differing from the rural Scottish Highlands featured in its sequel, John Macnab. Leithen's character, recurring in Buchan's works, provides a unique perspective on the political and social dynamics of the time.
