内容简介

汤米·贝雷斯福德和杜本丝·考利和第1次大战后的大多数年轻人一样，穷途潦倒，就业艰难。他们焦躁不安，渴望刺激，于是俩人开始策划一个大胆的商业计划——“年轻人冒险有限公司”，声称“愿意做任何事情，去任何地方”。

由于遇上了心怀叵测的惠廷顿先生，他俩第1次接受的任务，便是寻找一颗政治定时炸弹的下落，即“卢西塔尼亚”号客轮沉没后一份神秘失踪的高级机密文件。他们发现自己无时无刻不在神秘而冷酷的布朗先生可怕监视之中，并陷入了一种超出想象的危险处境……

The novel that introduced Tommy and Tuppence, a bantering pair of 1920s bright young things who solve a mystery together while falling for each other.

The Great War is over and jobs are scarce. Tommy Beresford and Prudence Tuppence Cowley, who were friends before the war, run into each other in London and discover they are both equally short of money and opportunities. On a whim, they decide to start a business, advertising themselves as The Young Adventurers.

Their first job leads them into a series of increasingly dangerous situations involving international spies, a society beauty, a Russian count, the wreck of the Lusitania, an amnesia patient, an American millionaire, and a fiendishly clever arch-criminal known only as Mr. Brown.

By the time the dust settles, all the puzzle pieces have been fitted together--and the young couple have realized their feelings for each other and have become engaged.
