Rogue Male is one of the classic thrillers of the 20th century. 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.

A wonderful thriller!

5 stars

To be honest, I didn't expect much from Rogue Male as it was quite cheap and I just bought it on impulse to while away a few commutes. I'm so glad I did because this is a wonderful thriller. Although decades old now, the writing is still fresh and exciting, with unpredictable twists and a style that many contemporary authors should envy! The story is well-paced with an intriguing and inventive central character, perfectly narrated by Robin Browne whose voice matched exactly how I felt the fugitive should sound. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the RNIB for producing such a great audiobook.
