The Rise and Rise of Jones Mark Goodey

Jones follows the escapades of a kindred spirit as he strives to navigate the challenges of the modern world including his experiences in education, the British Army and the Police. Then as Jones the P. I. he uses his genius to crack the case of the stolen Russian Blue Diamond and the murder of ex-KGB agent Mr. Mendolev. With his unique ingenuity Jones investigates Olga, the oligarch's wife, Dmitri, the dog handler, Visili the body guard and Tatiana the Russian maid. Finally, rising above his social and intellectual limitations, he uncovers the nefarious activity of the "Syndicate." Following his knighthood by the queen as a national hero, Jones and his Russian wife embark on a whirlwind tour of Russia where he is honoured by the Russian President for his diplomatic achievements. The narrative, oozing with good old British humour will have you rolling around the floor, a must read for those who are partial to a good laugh.
