"The past is an inescapable noose around a young man s neck, in
this blackly comic, satirical novel from renowned crime writer Bill
James"
Britain, 1956. A young actress seemingly tries to commit suicide
over a tangled love affair, but is taken to hospital and her life
saved. The story is just the sort of thing that journalist Ian
Charteris likes to cover: a poignant mix of near tragedy, possible
thwarted romance, and glamour, needing sensitive but of course
dramatic treatment. It should be a routine assignment, a welcome
assignment. It would be, if it wasn t for the identity of the young
woman. She may just may be Ian s sister.
The unwelcome reminder of the past drags Ian back into memories of
places and events he d rather forget. As far as Ian is concerned,
the past is a foreign country. And not just foreign. Fundamentally
and cantankerously hostile. Vengeful, war-torn, dangerous.
It is impossible to escape the past; the noose is already around
Ian s neck, and every step he takes it tightens . . . And this is
not the only noose."
