Title: Dover one
First published: 1964
Description: Dover is a Scotland Yard detetive.  Not a very good one.  About as incompetent and venal as it is possible to be and retain the income - if not the due respect - of a Detective Chief Inspector.
Dover - with an astonishingly posh (and disapproving) side-kick gets told off for all the least promising cases for which the Yard are called in. 
This is but the first of at least seven adventures - which make poor Frost look like a straight man, and Claude Eustace Teal like the Patron Saint of All Detectives.  Prepare to weep with laughter, ache with it even, as Joyce Porter describes the progress of a buffoon in boots!
