in England handcuffed to a case containing two-million dollars, ransom to be

"Tony Hawkin ... is an American Indian FBI agent. He also happens to love art
and to aspire to nothing so much as a gallery or museum. Tough luck for him.
The FBI keep throwing him into one zany case after another. This one begins
as a plane hijacking, supposedly engineered by anti-Castro Cubans. Before it
winds up it involves: Scottish nationalists, Arabs, Israelis, Welsh
nationalists, and just plain people who are out for the money. Quite the most
delectable part of the story, all the way along, is the description of all
the marvellous (really tasty) meals Tony achieves on his progress through
Great Britain."
