A new book from the author of "Salmon Fishing In The Yemen" and "Girl On The Lading", both of which are being adapted into films. A comic thriller in the vein of John Buchan, it follows Richard Gaunt, who makes a bet to walk to Oxford by lunchtime the next day, but finds himself taken hostage by a mannered kidnapper. Torday is a favourite of readers and critics, and his books always get comprehensive coverage in the media.
The bestselling author of SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN returns with a Buchan-esque thriller.
