[edit] Plot summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The plot is particularly poignant, since it discusses a terminally ill man (Leithen) going off to die in a hidden valley in the Canadian wilderness - Buchan was himself dying as the novel was being written. It is one of Buchan's most spiritual novels, talking about death and redemption.
