Review of 'Desolation Jones : made in England' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This must be Ellis at peak miserable dirty old man. The pitch is Bond gets subjected to IPCRESS then put out to pasture as a diamond hard boiled detective in LA where all the other washed up spooks get dumped. There is a lot to like here, particularly the art work, but ultimately it's a bummer of a story that lives up to its name.
