The story of a young convict, Solomon Blay, who became Her
Majesty's hangman in Van Diemen's Land; the man who personally had
to deliver an Empire's judgment on 200 men and women, and endured
his own noose of personal demons and demonisation in order to
'survive'; all in the context of the great struggles of good-evil,
life-death, hope-despair, which drew the attention of Darwin,
Twain, Trollope and Dickens as Van Diemans Land evolved from a
Hades of Evil to sow the seeds of nationhood. The book paints a
vivid picture of the society and poverty from which Blays character
was forged in England and the desperate, brutal nature of being a
convict in Van Diemens Land. Solomons Noose is an important book in
exposing the dark underbelly in the formation of modern Australia.
