Horrified – and furious – to discover that another "writer" has taken the name of my long-running character, Daniel Jacquot, to use in his own "books". By dropping two letters – Jacquot to Jacot – he cleverly avoids Trademark infringement, but is quite content to keep the christian name Daniel. This "gentleman" also uses the same strap line on his book cover – "The New Daniel Jacot Thriller" – and even has him drinking Calvados! I thought the whole point about writing fiction was making things up, not "borrowing" other people's work. As an ex-Guards Officer, and old Harrovian you'd think he'd be above such witless piggy-backing. Just goes to show...
