It's a two-character thriller in which a prissy ornithologist birdwatching on the Norfolk Broads becomes an unwilling host to a tough, gun-toting fugitive. It's both a comedy of
menace in a Pinteresque vein and has significant echoes of Joseph Losey's work, most
obviously the presence of minatory helicopters (key elements of The Damned and
Figures in a Landscape) and the central figure of the intruder….it's refreshing to hear
dialogue with such a high IQ, dialogue on a recondite subject about which the author
does appear to know a good deal.
