For three minutes, you will close your eyes and delve into the depths of your mind, the darkness that I have imparted to you. Then, I will give the signal, and you will turn your gaze towards the paper. There, you will briefly glimpse words written, but only for a fleeting second. Use every ounce of your power to remember these words.

What initially appears to be a pleasant, if somewhat mundane, weekend at his friend Lady Flambard's house in the Costwolds transforms into something far more intriguing for Sir Edward Leithen. A fellow guest, the brilliant Professor Moe, seeks the assistance of Leithen and his companions in an experiment. If they follow his instructions, each of them will gain a glimpse of a year into the future through the pages of "The Times."

One of Buchan's most unconventional novels, "The Gap in the Curtain" is a suspenseful and unexpected tale from the author of "The Thirty-Nine Steps." This edition is authorized by the John Buchan Society.
