    Description

    A classic thriller set in Dorset after the Second World War, full of Household's signature action and suspense.

    An afternoon's shooting in the country seems a pleasant prospect to Roger Taine, a respected family man with a distinguished military record. But when he discovers a poacher on his land, he fires a warning blast that stops the intruder dead in his tracks.

    Geoffrey Household

    British author of mostly thrillers, though among 37 books he also published childrens fiction. Households flight-and-chase novels, which show the influence of John Buchan, were often narrated in the first person by a gentleman-adventurer. Among his best-know works is Rogue Male (1939), a suggestive story of a hunter who becomes the hunted, in 1941 filmed by Fritz Lang as Man Hunt. Households fast-paced story foreshadowed such international bestsellers as Richard Condons thriller The Manchurian Candidate (1959), Frederick Forsyths The Day of the Jackal (1971), and Ken Folletts Eye of the Needle (1978) .

    In 1922 Household received his B.A. in English from Magdalen College, Oxford, and between 1922 and 1935 worked in commerce abroad, moving to the US in 1929. During World War II, Household served in the Intelligence Corps in Romania and the Middle East.

    Household also published an autobiography, Against the Wind (1958), and several collections of short stories, which he himself considered his best work.
