Why this must be read:
There are 57 episodes of The Professionals and along the way we meet many other people who work for CI5 besides Bodie and Doyle. Occasionally, someone will even write a story about one of those other characters. *g*
Yes, Bodie and Doyle still make an appearance in this story and oh, what an appearance, but the star of the show is Betty, Cowley’s faithful secretary and defender of the gate. Jojo does a beautiful job of fleshing Betty out in to a shrewd, capable woman, imbuing her with a sense of humour as well as a sense of duty.
It looks like any office Betty has ever worked in. The Olympia typewriter is as big and shiny as any. There’s as much stationery as anywhere else, letter-headed paper, fine-grain, snowy-white envelopes. Confidential pouches. Lots of those. Internal memo folders. Bics by the truckload, HB pencils, staple removers that she can never find fast enough to avoid ruination of her nails. Big metal filing cabinets banked across one wall. Typewriter ribbons in boxes. Her chair swivels smoothly.
Mr Cowley has taught her how to thumb back the hammer of a Browning Hi-Power revolver and fire it dead straight. Just in case.
