The Power-House
ByPublisher Description
The Power-House is John Buchan's haunting psychological thriller about the rise of organized, transnational evil in the modern world. When an English gentleman uncovers the existence of a secret criminal network led by a brilliant and ruthless mastermind, he confronts a form of power that defies law, nationality, and morality.
Presented here in a carefully restored digital edition, the novel blends espionage, suspense, and philosophical unease. A seminal work of early 20th-century thriller fiction, The Power-House remains a gripping exploration of hidden influence and the fragility of civilized order.
