<p>When Irving Goodman falls in love with Justine Trimble he is close to the end of his life and she&amp;#39;s been dead for forty-seven years. Irving doesn&amp;#39;t know how he&amp;#39;s going to attain his heart&amp;#39;s desire but he knows a man who does.</p><p>Justine was a star of 1950s black-and-white westerns, an expert horsewoman much admired for her seat, and when Istvan Fallok, a wizard of high technology, sees her in Irving&amp;#39;s video of <i>Last Stage to El Paso</i>, he hi-techs Justine out of the videotape and into present-day Soho - in black-and-white. It&amp;#39;s amazing what you can do with magnetised particles in a suspension of disbelief.</p><p>As any reader of Bram Stoker will know, blood is the (full-colour) life. Istvan is Justine&amp;#39;s first donor but in order not to be walking around in black-and-white, she has to be topped up now and then by Irving and his friends and the odd passer-by. Not surprisingly, the curiosity of the police is soon aroused.</p><p>Things become a little complicated when Grace Kowalski brings a Justine Two into the picture. Where will this all end? <i>Linger Awhile</i>and find out.</p>
