Thatchett was the sidekick of Dutch Forkes nemesis Dr. Jules Sarkozy. A drunken Irishmen of enormous power, his capacities for food and beer were as prodigious as his ability to crack skulls. A rotund jocular fellow, he was known to chortle amiably as he snapped the neck of a debtor. He nearly kills Forkes at the end of Stimes Addisson's Blues, but Forkes manages to escape with the clever use of a sausage roll. Thatchett makes a reappearance in Blood Red Blues, in which he is killed off by the grieving leading lady of the novel, Wilma Wiggins, heiress of Wiggins Weiner Works' founder Walter Wiggins. |
