The Power-House
About this audiobook
In the days before the First World War, the measured routine of barrister and accidental Member of Parliament Edward Leithen is disrupted when Charles Pitt-Heron, an Oxford contemporary and now the husband of Leithen’s old flame, abruptly goes missing. As he investigates the mystery, Leithen is soon pitted against the murderous forces of “the Power-House,” an international network of anarchists, and its chilling leader.

His 1915 novel The Thirty-Nine Steps has been filmed several times, including the 1935 version directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Buchan was raised to the peerage in 1935, and, as Lord Tweedsmuir, became 15th Governor General of Canada, a position in which he served until his death.
