This is the story of Karen Silkwood. It begins with her death.

Why does her story begin where it should end? Certain people wanted her death to be an ending. Why? What were they afraid of? Karen Silkwood had something to tell us, and she believed that it was important. Why didn't she live to tell us? Will we ever know what really happened? The questions go on and on, but there are no answers.

This is a true story. It happened in Oklahoma, USA, where Karen Silkwood lived and worked . . . and died.

"Lenny sat down in an old armchair and read a book. But he kept an eye on Dr Spinks. The old man walked about the shop. He stopped and looked here and there, but never at the goldfish bowl.

The bowl came from Italy, and was hundreds of years old. It was Venetian glass, and it could bring a lot of money.

Dr Spinks moved on. For a time he looked at the little red flowers of a house plant. Then he made his way to a small white horse - it stood to the right of the goldfish bowl."

Perhaps more than any other book "The Thirty-Nine Steps" has set the pattern for the story of the chase for a wanted man. And, of the many writers who have attempted this kind of thing since Buchan, only a very few, like Graham Greene, have managed to sustain the tension in the same way. The main character is Buchan's familiar hero, Richard Hannay who gets caught up quite suddenly on a dull London afternoon in a situation of extreme danger. Before he knows what is happening he is the obvious suspect for a murder committed in his own flat, and has to go on the run to his native Scotland.

The story grew out of a map that led to imaginary treasure, devised during a holiday in Scotland by Stevenson and his nephew.

Among the crew, however, is the treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself. Stevenson's first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages.
