An Englishman plans to assassinate the dictator of a European country. But he is foiled at the last moment and falls into the hands of ruthless and inventive torturers.

But England provides no safety from his pursuers - and the Rogue Male must strip away all the trappings of status and civilization as the hunter becomes a hunted animal.

Media Reviews
Nail-biting, boldly plotted... A mesmeric climax anticipates post-war existential fiction. By any standards: a masterpiece. THE INDEPENDENT The book... has lost none of its appeal as a tale of survival against the heaviest of odds. -- Barry Turner DAILY MAIL Rogue Male is probably the most famous chase thriller ever, influencing an entire generation from Frederick Forsyth to Lee Child CATHOLIC HERALD Just reprinted, this is a completely terrific read, a perfect example of its kind and one we'd recommend to lovers of classic thrillers EASTERN DAILY PRESS We are in classic British adventure thriller territory - think Buchan - with an upper-class Englishman showing his stiff upper lip to best effect... A page-turner if ever there was one! GOOD BOOK GUIDE
