The Gap In The Curtain

When a famous professor offers guests at a country-party the opportunity to see into their futures, several men, including two who see the news of their own deaths, must decide how to live their lives when faced with these inevitabilities.

With its supernatural premise, The Gap in the Curtain is a departure from author John Buchan's usual adventure stories. The narrator, Sir Edward Leithen, features prominently in several other John Buchan novels, including The Power-House, The Dancing Floor, John Macnab, and Sick Heart River.
