| Publisher Description: 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. It should be a routine assignment. It would be, if it wasn't for the identity of the young woman. She may - just may - be Ian's sister. |
