The Ministry of Fear

One aimless afternoon, Arthur Rowe was wandering through the streets of London. He was interrupted his walk only once to drop into a charity bazaar where-much to his suprise- he won a cake. That night a stranger, inordinately interested in the cake, appeared at Rowe's lodgings and tried to poison him. From that moment on, there closed around Arthur Rowe a strange, silent evilly efficient conspiracy...The Ministry of Fear.
