Tim Berman (1939-2023) had a passion for murder. He was also into stuff guaranteed to boggle the mind just a bit. Writing from his many and varied life experiences he was able to draw from eclectic fields of endeavour such as Aviator, Field operative (undercover), Truckie, Copywriter, Farmer, Niteclub doorman, Travelling salesman, Sailor, Diver and so forth. You get the picture, surely.
Each one of his life experiences taught this person something of value; mostly that the race is to the swift and hit first and ask questions later. What a wonderful philosophy to carry through life!
In his later years, Timmy (to his friends) lived a quiet life on the south coast with his lovely wife and two charming bitches. You work it out!
Sense of humour? Not really, just a cynical old bugger with time on his hands and a head full of stuff. Right to the end.
