Critics Review
Rogue Male is probably the most famous chase thriller ever, influencing an entire generation from Frederick Forsyth to Lee Child
ROGUE MALE…has achieved deservedly classic status. It’s an exciting story, told in a crisp, no-nonsense style reminiscent of John Buchan - MAIL ON SUNDAY

Geoffrey Household
Geoffrey Household (1900-1988)
Geoffrey Household was a prolific novelist of political thrillers and suspense stories, most notably the classic Rogue Male, which, The Times recently declared, ‘remains as exciting and probing as ever’. He was as widely travelled as the settings of his books suggest: after graduating from Magdalen College, Oxford, with a first in English literature he worked abroad for 25 years, and served in British Intelligence during World War II in Greece and the Middle East. He married twice and eventually settled in the English countryside with his wife and three children.
