The House of Spies
An old-fashioned classic spy thrillerBy Ben Westerham
Length4h 54m
About this audiobook
Before the Great War, Britain fought its first secret battle.
In the spring of 1912, Alexander Templeman boards a night train expecting nothing more than a quiet journey north. Instead, he is drawn into a hidden world of spies, secrets, and pursuit — a world in which a single mistake can be fatal.
Untrained and unprepared, Templeman finds himself trapped in the Scottish Lowlands by a brilliant and merciless enemy. With time running out and no one he can fully trust, he must rely on judgement, courage, and quick thinking to survive.
As Europe edges toward catastrophe, the information he carries becomes ever more dangerous, and the consequences of failure ever more profound.
Atmospheric, tense, and rich in period detail, The House of Spies is a classic espionage thriller in the tradition of The Thirty-Nine Steps — a gripping listen for anyone who enjoys intelligent suspense, strong characters, and stories that reward close attention.
