No Escape

by Josephine Bell

Published 10 August 1970

A fiercely exciting story of cat-and-mouse tactics, played out against the drama of a suicide attempt by a beautiful girl.

As far as the river police are concerned, the attempted suicide is a routine matter. Nothing too special, just a girl throwing herself off Hammersmith Bridge in a fit of desperate remorse.

But when she is admitted to the West Kensington Hospital, she finds herself coming under the scrutiny of Tim Long, the surgical registrar. Out of kindness of heart, then out of grim necessity Tim and the rest of the hospital staff find themselves caught up in the pitiful life of a girl for whom there seems to be ultimately no escape except death.

Jane Fuller had not seen her husband since he was struck off the medical register, left her and went abroad. Now, on the very day she goes to her barrister to start proceedings on a divorce, she learns that he has returned.

Dead. In her living room.

Why did he return? How did he die? How did she not know he was in the house? The finger of suspicion from the police, barrister and the locals automatically falls upon Jane, but through her shock she denies everything. The evidence continues to mount up and then more people start to die in suspicious circumstances…..

Josephine Bell’s imaginative characters and finely sustained tension will keep you hooked as the mysteries are gradually unpicked, and this village’s secrets finally begin to see the light of day.
