'A triumph of suspense' NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS
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. They devise for him an ingenious and diplomatic death but, for once, they bungle the job and he escapes.
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.

Recenzii
Simply the best escape and pursuit story yet written
Household's masterpiece: a bestseller that redefined its genre
Nail-biting, boldly plotted... A mesmeric climax anticipates post-war existential fiction. By any standards: a masterpiece
The book... has lost none of its appeal as a tale of survival against the heaviest of odds
Rogue Male is probably the most famous chase thriller ever, influencing an entire generation from Frederick Forsyth to Lee Child
Rogue Male is a classic thriller and a triumph of suspense
Rogue Male has achieved deservedly classic status. It's an exciting story, told in a crisp, no-nonsense style reminiscent of John Buchan
An overpowering tour de force ... spare, tense, desperately alive
Remains as exciting and probing as ever
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!
This is a completely terrific read, a perfect example of its kind and one we'd recommend to lovers of classic thrillers
