I read the book before watching the TV dramatisation and, sorry, I found it boring. If he was disabled in service he should have an army pension and there was no reason for him to be broke. In the TV series he pees into a coffee cup but for a man who drinks as much beer as Strike he would need an old fashioned chamber pot. The man who hired him saw him as a a drunk who would never get to the truth. Was it over-hyped?

Good point! Maybe he had a lot of bills and didn't have any money left over after they were paid. That's about how I am with my disability check - I pay my credit cards at the beginning of the month, then I'm broke for the rest of the month. LOL
