Geoffrey Household’s Rogue Male is a classic thriller and a triumph of suspense. Described by Household as a “bastard offspring of Stevenson and Conrad,” the book is no less remarkable as an exploration of the lure of violence, the psychology of survivalism, and the call of the wild.

An anonymous wealthy Englishman goes on a shooting trip to the continent. In his sights is ‘the biggest game of all’: the head of a brutal European dictatorship.

First published shortly before the outbreak of war in 1939.

Read by Michael Jayston.

Producer: David Jackson Young.

First broadcast in January 2004 in fifteen half-hour episodes.

My recordings from BBC iPlayer. I have run some noise reduction to deal with some rumble on the recording, and I’ve mixed the episodes together for more seamless listening.
