In the fifth installment of the series, Bodie and Doyle chauffeur a mysterious figure who keeps getting shot at, discover a crooked FBI informant working in London and take down a police chief who runs his city like a dictatorship.
Oh, you know Bodie and Doyle are badass because they're doing it all in a Capri and a Ford Fiesta.

Entertaining adaptation of early episodes from season 1. Wasn’t the third episode Klansmen which didn’t have any repeats for many years due to the story content?
Anyways adaptation was fast moving, action oriented, the main characters were as seen on screen I thought this brought the episodes to the page very well.
Not quite sure why not 4 star? Perhaps it get like at least one of these episodes deserved more page count, perhaps rather than 3x50 pages could have been 2x80 pages . Or not undecided to be honest.
Overall not the best volume so far but still entertaining and recommended

Even though I know the episodes that it’s based upon, i still like to read these novelisations anyway.
There are occasional variations from the scripts original form to what was ultimately filmed, which is interesting to pick up on and there are more hints at back stories. Nothing great or mind blowing, just classic action stories of a bygone era.

42 WORD REVIEW:
Although not one of the best Professionals novelisations — a verdict that rests as much on the quality of the three episodes depicted as upon the writing — Blind Run nevertheless captures much of the on-screen action and the charisma of its three leads.
