MATCH FOR A MURDERER

The third case loosely — how could it be otherwise — supervised by Johnson Johnson in Nassau where there is an attempt to kill a Chief of Intelligence. Beltanno MacRannoch, a doctor with an antiseptic lip, saves his life and from then on it's a wild complex of activities (murder, the dog races, golf) and polyglot upper-case characters (a Japanese, a Begum, etc.). Think of it as a rum punch with too much punch or, if you're comparison shopping, it's as mindblown as Joyce Porter's bizarreries.
