The Return of John Macnab
The wager: to poach a salmon, grouse and a deer from three Royal Estates. The challengers: three men in a mid-life crisis who should know better. The wild card: a flirtatious female journalist who won’t take no for an answer. Striding over the Scottish Highlands with a poet’s eye on the wilderness and a firm grip on the adventure, Andrew Greig reimagines John Buchan’s classic novel with a little less tweed, a little more sex, and just the right measure of whisky.
Reviews of The Return of John Macnab
