A deadly pursuit through the English countryside from the acclaimed author of ROGUE MALE.

Suddenly hunted by a killer with no name and no apparent motive, Dennim must use his wartime skills to stay alive, and the two master hunters embark on a deadly game of cat and mouse through the picturesque English countryside.
With brilliant descriptions of the Cotswolds and a high-stakes manhunt, this is a pursuit novel that stands with Household’s best.

Household...helped to develop the suspense story into an art form
Tension, suspense, thrills, humor, sympathetic characters, and a hero (and a villain) with a sense of honorr, plus the odd bit of natural philosophy. What more could you possibly ask for in 192 pages of finely written prose ... Watcher in the Shadows is quite as good as Rogue Male and demands not to be forgotten
Household...helped to develop the suspense story into an art form
The reissue of his backlist, of which Watcher in the Shadows is the latest to appear, is a welcome acknowledgement of Household as a master of his craft
