Thirty-Nine Steps
Perhaps more than any other book The Thirty-Nine Steps has set the pattern for the story of the chase for a wanted man. And, of the many writers who have attempted this kind of thing since Buchan, only a very few, like Graham Greene, have managed to sustain the tension in the same way. The story''s extended chase scene inspired Alfred Hitchcock''s movie of the same name.
