THE POWER HOUSE

by John Buchan ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

Those who first encountered Sir Edward Leithen in Mountain Meadow will rejoice to go back to this early novel (now published here for the first time) in which Buchan tells a sinister adventure involving young Leithen. There is an evil organization, led by a human atan, and his friend, Tommy Deloraine, off on a wild goose chase after Pittron, also disappears, under suspicious circumstances. Leithan, from headquarters in London, earths a series of clues, and eventually discovers that one of England's top men is the brains of this evil Power House, an organization aimed at destruction of civilization. Exciting reading -- straight melodrama.
