The Chinese Agent

Kirkus Reviews - Ex-con Jerry Cornell, product of the seamiest of London's byways and working under duress for British Intelligence, lands right side up in this spottily funny spoof of the Bond-bred genre. When a Chinese-American jewel thief is by mistake handed a package of Red China-bound secrets in the Tower of London (all Chinese look alike), a crew of unlikely originals give chase--Jerry, a top Chinese agent with a poetic imagination, a fading Mata Hari, gals and gaffers, and an Inspector named Crapper. Somehow Peking is sent packing. Has its moments.
