Jason King's novel "People in Glass Houses Should Not" is displayed on screen. The back cover has a brief biography of him stating he was born in India & spent time as a child in a prisoner-of-war camp before being educated in Switzerland where he now lived. It mentioned rumours of his involvement in gun-running but that he was now "reasonably law-abiding". Finally it stated his wife had been killed in a plane crash in Chicago.
