Is Havelock named after Henry Havelock, the Victorian general?

[Gen.Blather]

I was struggling for a character name and I saw a bond movie. Havelock Pigeon was named after Judy Havelock in “For Your Eyes Only.” When the villain said, “You’ve shot your last bolt Miss Havelock” I scrambled for my note pad.

Almost all of the characters are named from other literature. Effie Perine was Sam Spade’s secretary. Gertie on the front desk is from Perry Mason. I built the story in many layers to entertain people who read deeply. But the story moves fast and there’s plenty of action so even a superficial read should be entertaining.

Thanks for asking.
