It's 1920, and postwar London is a dull place for two aimless young adventurers: Thomas Beresford, a former army driver just home from the trenches, and Prudence "Tuppence" Cowley, a quick-witted, irrepressible young woman who once drove an ambulance in France. Broke and bored, they launch "The Young Adventurers, Ltd." — and promise themselves they'll take "any reasonable job, no matter how dangerous."
Their very first assignment lands them at the center of an international conspiracy. A sinking ship, a lost package of state secrets, a missing American girl named Jane Finn, and a shadowy master criminal known only as "Mr. Brown" pull Tommy and Tuppence into a breathless race across London, from shabby Soho boarding houses to the elegant drawing rooms of Mayfair. Before they know it, they're being trailed, double-crossed, and targeted for murder — and Tuppence herself is caught in the crosshairs.
Full of close escapes, quick disguises, razor-sharp banter, and the unmistakable charm of Agatha Christie's most beloved duo, *The Secret Adversary* introduces Tommy and Tuppence — two of mystery fiction's most delightful detectives — in the adventure that started it all.
