This is a contemporary thriller (early 80's) written in a Sam Spade hard boiled style rather than Waugh's normal police procedural style.
I would classify this as a parody of Hammett's writing but lacking the depth.
The story is very silly, the PI Simon Kaye gets involved in the hunt for a treasure map with lots of violence.
I'd buy more with this character solely because Waugh is fairly difficult to find. Don't go out of your way to read this.
