Description New Year's Eve, 1989.

At a residential care home in suburban Australia, fireworks explode in the distance while an elderly man dies in troubling circumstances.

Decades later, a proof-reader, disfigured by a childhood accident, prepares to meet a celebrated and reclusive novelist.

Between these two figures a subtle and intricate web is woven, implicating the members of a mystical cult, the victim of a beheading, an impostor artist, and the enigmatic presence known only as Agent Vell.

Hang Him When He Is Not There is a novel unlike any other.

With keen intelligence, stylistic flair, and a bold philosophy of literary possibilities, Nicholas John Turner has crafted a globe-spanning, time-bending narrative that throws its own readers into the action and scours the darkest reaches of the human psyche: jealousy, betrayal, duplicity, cowardice, and -- above all -- vanity.
