Bit slow to get started.. made up African country name a bit off-putting (Ngonga). The two retired gentlemen needing a cheap place to stay turns their rather comical/farcical efforts to raise money for the retired gents place that they had hoped to move to, into international, then local, murder cases. Slowly Treasure, charming banker-detective ( with the sophisticated beautiful actress wife, with whom he discusses his cases) deals with all the likely guilty parties... and finally eliminates them and lands on the very surprising guilty party. Williams writes so well and the humorous asides and observations help if the political or personal motivations are not so thrilling. Sympathy for poor Hercules, the elderly dog !

Roderick Copper, retired Major, and Benny Gold, elderly London cabbie, apply on the same morning for residential places with the Rudyard Trust for Retired Officers and Gentlemen. But its eccentric and drunken Director tells them the Trust is technically bankrupt, its multi-million pound assets about to be divided between the founder's descendants - a curious, motley crew. Banker Mark Treasure is called in when Copper and Gold's bizarre scheme to preserve the charity goes wrong with terrifying consequences - kidnap, stabbing and sudden death - involving one of the bank's clients, ex-President Cruba of Ngonga, exiled in London with his sensuous third wife, his 15-year-old son, and Gerard Opac, his handsome, ambitious aide.A wonderfully sophisticated piece of detective fiction, Copper, Gold and Treasure - the fifth Mark Treasure mystery - is sure to delight with its comedic wit.
