ANIMOSITIES
ANIMOSITIES by James Ballantyne
″In 1951 a man’s innocent son is brutally beaten to death in London by four policemen. There is a cover-up. Twenty-eight years later in 1979 the father, who was presumed to have committed suicide out of grief, re-emerges from obscurity under a new name and multi-layered persona to exact vengeance on the killers. The story, mostly set in London, is conceived as a study in wrong-doing and retribution against a backdrop of the political imperatives of the British and, to a lesser extent German, law and order scene of the 1970s. Within that context, thriller-like and technologically advanced ‘devices’ are employed in the telling of the story.”
