Written by James Fenimore Cooper and dramatised for radio by DJ Britton, The Spy is often regarded as the world's first espionage novel.
In creating Harvey Birch (played by Burn Gorman), a double agent during the American War of Independence, Cooper began the tradition of spy-as-hero, leading to the great genre novels of the late 19th and 20th centuries.
New York State, 1778. Henry Wharton, a young soldier for the British in the American War of Independence, creeps into no-man's land to spend an evening with his family. But the happy reunion is cut short when American troops surround the house. Can the mysterious peddler Harvey Birch, who lives nearby, really provide Henry with a means of escape?
