No. 17 is a 1926 thriller novel by the British writer Joseph Jefferson Farjeon, inspired by his successful play of the same title from the previous year.[1] Along with the play it provided inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's 1932 film Number Seventeen.
It is the first of a series of stories featuring the character of Ben, a former merchant sailor now down-on-his-luck, who continually gets involved in adventures.
