Enderby OutsideEnderby, now called (after his mother) Hogg, is presented in this sequel as a barman in a big London Hotel. Unexpectedly the poetic gift returns. Moreover, Hogg seems to be involved in the assassination of a famous pop-singer, and this forces him to flee, resuming - since it is in his passport - his old identity. He discovers, on a flight to Tangier, that his betrayer Rawcliffe (who stole the plot of a narrative poem and turned it into a horror film) seems to be the patron of beach-cafe in that exotic resort. If Enderby is to put away for mudering a pop-singer, he might as well murder Rawcliffe also. |
