Review
Further hardnosed exploits of Dawlish' operative, with all the authorizing apparatus - codes, footnotes and appendices, finds him in Portugal where a sunken U-boat purportedly has a cache of cash, some real, some Monopoly money, and some heroin. There are certainly touches - detail and dialogue with that strong uppercut; but the vogue for big Funerals is Just about over and this has lost a little of that smashing aplomb. Perhaps it's an occupational inevitability but you hate to see it go. Notwithstanding, and since he's better than most, this will Deightonate, or defuse, or diffuse to some of the original market.
