The world of Tim Frazer Book

Brilliant.
Tim Frazer finds himself sucked into a life of espionage and secret service by trying to help out a friend. He bumbles his way through many odd situations before a proposition is made to him - Find Harry Denston for a Mr Ross. Tim wants to find Harry because Harry has run off with a lot of Tims money and left him with a bankrupt engineering business so it's game on for Tim. Little did he know what Harry was mixed up in,or what the Russian and the name Anya have to do with him. Nuclear weapons, secret formulas, model ships and photographs, undercover spies and stiff upper lips. Great stuff. I only wish we could accept that writing like this is good and honest and does not need any modern flourishing or grit to make it work. Kept me amused for many hours in the car.
