Summary
Detective Sergeant Jack Stallworthy has been accepting backhanders for most of his career, and why not? He's spent thirty years putting villains behind bars, surely he's entitled to a little nest-egg? Lily, his wife whom he loves deeply, dreams of… retirement on the paradise island of Ko Samui, but Jack will happily settle for a bungalow in Devon. Until that is, businessman Emslie Warnaby offers him Ko Samui on a plate. Or rather, first class air tickets to the island, plus the deeds to Calm Seas Hotel. All Jack has to do in return is steal an incriminating file from the fraud investigation office at police HQ. Some strong language. 1996.
