'For three minutes you will turn your eyes inward into the darkness of the mind which I have taught you to make. Then I will give the sign you will look at the paper. There you will see words written, but only for one second. Bend all your powers to remember them.'

What begins as a welcome, if slightly dull, weekend at his friend Lady Flambard's house in the Costwolds becomes for Sir Edward Leithen something altogether more intriguing. A fellow guest the brilliant Professor Moe enlists the help of Leithen and his companions in an experiment. If they do as he says, each will get a glimpse a year into the future in the pages ofThe Times.

One of Buchan's most unusual novels,The Gap in the Curtain is a tense tale of unexpected from the author ofThe Thirty-Nine Steps.

With an introduction by Stuart Kelly.
