A fond farewell - By: Andrew Vermes, 20 Feb 2007 
Sir Edward Leithen - perhaps the most complex of the group of Buchan characters that include Sandy Arbuthnot, Richard Hannay etc - embarks on a search for a missing friendin the far north. He is a very sick man - a fateful reminder that Buchan himself was to die not long after writing this. Buchan delivers his familiar high quality adventure but probes further into man's frailty & emotions than before, & delivers a beautiful swansong.
