The House of the Falcon

by Harold Lamb

About this book

Harold Lamb sets this adventure among the mountain routes and guarded communities of Central Asia. Travellers, concealed intentions and competing loyalties draw the characters toward the country of the Falcon.

The story unfolds through encounters in gardens, stone chambers, mountain passes and a sanctuary tower, combining danger, pursuit and romance. This complete thirty-chapter book edition preserves John A. Coughlin’s illustration and the original 1921 text, following its 1920 publication history.
