Noose - Bill James - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

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.
