Summary: This week's Book Club book of the week is The House Of Rumour by Jake Arnott. Jake Arnott's latest novel, The House Of Rumour, takes the Tarot card deck as the structure for a novel filled with breathtaking flights of fancy... Larry Zagorski – a young Californian writer of pulp fiction - a British intelligence agent, the occultist Aleister Crowley, Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess, a transsexual prostitute and Ian Fleming... What connects them? The answer lies in 1941... But when Larry looks back on that year, he finds it hard to separate fact from fiction... Spies, religion, SF writers, cult leaders, rocket scientists, astronauts, UFO spotters, magicians, astrologists, film makers, rock stars, artists, actors, adulterers and unrequited lovers, all woven into a web where truth and illusion meet.
