Suddenly, the show’s handsome hero has become a notorious fugitive on the run from a nationwide manhunt. As he hurtles to the far reaches of the United Kingdom, Hannay encounters double-crossing secret agents, romantic entanglements, and nonstop roadblocks as the story speeds towards a death-defying finale.
