A new novel by Nobel laureate Kazuo Ishiguro is set to be published in March next year.

Miss Lambert Steps Aboard Danger, announced by his UK publisher Faber, is a spy caper. Set in 1938, the novel follows Richard Hadley as he encounters the enigmatic Miss Lambert, and follows her to a conference at a hotel in Devon, and then on to a Scotland-bound train, where he encounters a school friend and a former Tory minister, among others.
