"James, who may be one of Britain's most underrated crime fiction writers, produces a shocker packed with menace and very black humor." -Booklist, starred review
Britain, 1956. A young actress seemingly tries to commit suicide over a tangled love affair, but is taken to the 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 welcomed assignment. It would be, if it weren't for the identity of the young woman. She may-just may-be Ian's sister.
The unwelcomed 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 tightens it . . . And this is not the only noose.
"James spins an effective psychological tale of a man whose past shapes his future." -Publishers Weekly
