The Name's Bond. James Bond. Just Not *That* James Bond: The Rajah's Emerald by Agatha Christie

No, really: the protagonist of this story is "James Bond," who
appears more than a quarter century before Ian Fleming's *slightly*
more famous character. And our poor James Bond is suffering through
a vacation (er, holiday) so wretched, it has to be one of the worst
Christie ever depicted--which as we've discussed in previous
episodes is definitely saying something, given Poirot's various
ill-advised vacances sur la plage.... Let's take the plunge in the
icy English waters together, shall we?
