This is one of the original great adventure yarns, I have no idea how many times I've read it but I take it our every few years and still get great enjoyment from it.
Richard Hannay has returned to England to retire after years in Africa. Through circumstances he befriends a man who ends up murdered in his flat. So begins a chase by the police and 'agents of a foreign power' across large chunks of Scotland.
Yes, there are ridiculous coincidences but who cares. This has never been out of print since it was first published in 1915 and every couple of years you can see why.
