Basically I was just thinking about how much I love the film North by Northwest. The closest ones I can find are Eric Ambler novels. Anyone know of any others?
Would Geoffrey Household's Rogue Male fit the bill?
I heartily second this recommendation.
I would second this one.The Thirty Nine Steps?
If you like dystopian fiction, maybe Running Man by Stephen King, writing under the name Richard Bachman, since no one's mentioned it yet.
