The Secret Adversary: A Tommy & Tuppence Mystery
Christie’s first novel to feature the sleuthing duo of Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, The Secret Adversary finds the penniless pair launching a new business venture, Young Adventurers Ltd.
A mysterious individual by the name of Mr. Whittington immediately hires them. Their mission: to find a young lady named Jane Finn. Jane has not been seen in the five years since she was on board the Lusitania when it sank. Mr. Whittington believes she is actually alive and in possession of a valuable treaty. Of course, the government would prefer to keep this particular treaty under wraps.
Tommy and Tuppence, hot on Jane’s trail, quickly fall into a dangerous world of government secrets, violent kidnappers, hidden identities, and murderous plots. Will this dark netherworld put an end to their business? Or, worse, their lives? Only time will tell…
