The narrator takes it upon himself to stalk - in the manner of a big game hunt - a human prey, a man guarded by the best in the land, a man with a vested interest in keeping himself out of the sights of any assassin. With the dictator in his sights our hero is apprehended and tortured almost to the point of death. Left to fall from a cliff to an apparently accidentally death he cheats fate by landing in a bog. Here begins his flight to freedom. But what kind of freedom? Even back in his native England he is hunted down by the agents of the dictator - forced to become an outlaw now wanted for actual murder after he finishes off one of his foreign pursuers in the bowels of the London Underground. In ROGUE MALE Geoffrey Household has written an adventure thriller which has yet to be bettered, and which has spawned a thousand imitations including the box office smash hit movie THE FUGITIVE.
