The Three Hostages (1924) is a thriller novel by John Buchan, featuring his famous character Richard Hannay, best known from The Thirty-Nine Steps. This book is the fourth in the Hannay series and blends espionage, psychological manipulation, and adventure in the years following World War I.

Now retired and living a peaceful life in the countryside, Richard Hannay is reluctantly drawn back into action when a powerful criminal network kidnaps three important hostages-a politician's son, a banker's daughter, and a judge's child. The criminals aim to manipulate global affairs, and Hannay must rescue the hostages while unraveling a sinister conspiracy.

His main adversary is the charismatic yet malevolent Dominick Medina, a hypnotist and master manipulator who poses one of Hannay's most formidable challenges. Unlike the purely action-driven adventures of the previous books, The Three Hostages introduces elements of psychological warfare and mind control, making it a unique entry in the series.
