Ankara'daki küçük İngiliz topluluğu, tuhaf ilişkileri, duygusal tutarsızlıkları ve dedikodularıyla ünlüydü. En başta bu durum, gizli bir görevle Türk-Rus sınırına giderken Ankara'da bir iki gün geçiren Hand'i yalnızca tedirgin ediyordu. Ama sonra casus olduğuna ilişkin dedikodular onu gerçekten ele verdi.
Gizli bir üssün fotoğralarını çekmek, görevinin yalnızca bir parçasıydı. Daha da önemlisi filmi Londra'ya ulaştırmaktı. Ama partilerde ileri geri konuşan diller yüzünden peşine komünist ajanlar, ordu ve polis takılacak, basit bir görev tehlikeli bir oyuna dönüşecekti.
Hand'in, güney sahillerinde kamp yapan dostlarının yanına sığınmasıyla bu oyunun son eli antik bir tiyatronun yıkıntıları arasında sahnelenecekti.
Rathbone'un polis karakterleri Nur ve Alp, soluk soluğa yeni bir Türkiye macerasında yine bizimle.

About the author

Julian Rathbone

68 books24 followers
Julian Christopher Rathbone was born in 1935 in Blackheath, southeast London. His great-uncle was the actor and great Sherlock Holmes interpreter Basil Rathbone, although they never met.

The prolific author Julian Rathbone was a writer of crime stories, mysteries and thrillers who also turned his hand to the historical novel, science fiction and even horror — and much of his writing had strong political and social dimensions.

He was difficult to pigeonhole because his scope was so broad. Arguably, his experiment with different genres and thus his refusal to be typecast cost him a wider audience than he enjoyed. Just as his subject matter changed markedly over the years, so too did his readers and his publishers.

Among his more than 40 books two were shortlisted for the Booker Prize for Fiction. Both were historical novels: first King Fisher Lives, a taut adventure revolving around a guru figure, in 1976, and, secondly, Joseph, set during the Peninsular War and written in an 18th-century prose style, in 1979. But Rathbone never quite made it into the wider public consciousness.
