Checkmate
Prismark1025 March 2023
David Baker commits an outrageous bank robbery in Tel Aviv that left two men dead. He used his girlfriend Diane as a diversion. She was a potential suicide jumper which distracted people's attention.

To further distract attention when leaving Israel, Diane is a beauty queen contestant which attracts press attention at the airport.

Both fly to Spain which does not have an extradition treaty with Israel. It leaves Inspector Duval in a quandary.

There is no way to get at Baker and Duval knows this. All Duval can do is slow him down, make sure he cannot change the Israeli currency, whose serial numbers have been widely circulated.

With a lack of financial resources, Baker is under pressure and could be forced to leave Spain under vagrancy laws.

Diane is sent to Paris to meet with a currency dealer. It just happens that Duval is posing as one.

I did like how Duval had the Spanish underworld eating from the palm of his hand. No one would touch Baker. He even had a similar effect on the shady currency dealers of Paris.
