The thrilling conclusion to The Mediterranean Caper! It's got everything: gunshot wounds, cat food, and "a young black" who doesn't deserve a name but is absolutely crucial to the plot. Also some diversions into some of the worst war crimes in history, and the Russian women who would have made for a much better book.
