Julian Hutchinson Judge Me Knot

Annotation

Forty years after WW II, Paul Knot, U.S. Marine Corps hero, becomes a blackmail target of Harv, a vulgar creep, seeking the fortune Paul may have illegally accumulated prior to becoming a born again Christian. As an old, experienced live theater consultant, Paul defends himself with his wits, moral beliefs and theatrical abilities. Other major characters in the story are: Ellie, a mysterious theater novice; Willie, an incognito FBI Agent; and Tammy, a hard living actress who becomes Pauls platonic friend and ultimately accepts Christ as her savior. Various chapters of Judge me Knot are written by the characters themselves describing their inter-connections with Paul. The storys moral issues are: judge others by what they are now, not what they once were; and real love lasts forever.
