Lucky Streak

It is the mid 1980s. Not all clubs are open each evening. The television shuts down at midnight.

What is a Yank like Dempsey to do? Go to a casino, although the one Dempsey goes to is robbed and the security is shot dead.

Spikings wants the investigation to be low key, half the people in that casino have diplomatic immunity.

It looks like an inside job. James Bessel is a society smoothie with a history of bad behaviour and he comes from old money. He soon becomes a suspect. However Dempsey and Makepeace need to find out who helped him.

Makepeace gets to use her martial arts skill. You also sense the beginnings of a chemistry between the two main characters and it has a bit more humour than the previous two episodes.

Mediocre episode, though the witty dialogue between Makepeace and Dempsey is amusing. Love how Spikings is annoyed by Dempsey. There's not much action, but has more detective work.
