Inspector McNeil


 * Not to be confused with Inspector McNeill from At Bertram's Hotel

In the short story The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly, Inspector McNeil was the Scotland Yard inspector assigned to the case of the kidnapping of Johnnie Waverly.

It is possibly the same McNeil who is assigned to the case of the stolen bonds in The Million Dollar Bond Robbery. Here only his name is mentioned a few times. He does not appear in person and Poirot doesn't meet him.

Inspector McNeil was not featured in the film adaptation of The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly in episode 3 of Series 1 of ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot drama series. There his role was taken by Chief Inspector Japp. McNeil is also not featured in the film adaptation of The Million Dollar Bond Robbery. There is however, a Mr McNeil, who is in charge of security for the bank. The police presence is supplied by Japp.
