None But My Foe
by David DuncanNone But My Foe, first published in 1950, is a novel set in California about a possible threat to a small town’s water supply.Stephen Smith, a novelist living in a small coastal town, values independence above all personal qualities. When his loving wife dies after a brief bout of pneumonia, he responds with anger rather than grief. He illogically places blame on the town’s leaders, especially the mayor. In a plan to demonstrate their dishonestly and incompetence, he fakes poisoning the local reservoir, then waits for them to manipulate the threat for their own purposes. The town’s residents, however, prove more susceptible to fear than he had imagined. His plan works too well, and the situation quickly gets out of his control.On one level what the author offers here is a parable about terrorism. Facing what they believe to be an attack, Duncan tells us, many people will become panicky and suggestible. This is true even if the danger is vague and unsubstantiated and the attacker is anonymous or perhaps non-existent. Their leaders, though they may not know the nature, extent or authenticity of the threat, will nevertheless take action in order to justify their positions of authority. Depending on what they decide to do, they may palliate, channel or exacerbate the fear. Lurking behind the terrorism tale is an examination of the protagonist’s motives, which seem increasingly irrational as the story unwinds. Duncan delivers all this in his usual vigorous prose. The beginning of the narrative may actually move faster than necessary. Some episodes would be more plausible with additional time between the death of the wife and the hatching of the plot. All in all, though, this is a remarkable and surprisingly timely novel.

Noose
by Bill James&“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
