Who is Tony Reardon from Skeleton Coast and what is their importance? Skeleton_Coast_(novel) English & Literature Tony Reardon | Skeleton Coast

Pessimistic jerk sent with Sloane by DeBeers to investigate her theory that the HMS Rove with her full cache of a billion dollars of diamonds still aboard is located in waters off the coast of Africa. He is a self involved, and self centered individual with little work ethic, and a small mind. He doesn't care whether he completes a job or not, and has no pride in himself or his work. He has a crisp British accent, and is easily unmanned by circumstances that involve him having any degree of bravery.
