Description
Charlie Mortdecai, art dealer and aristocrat, finds himself at the centre of a diplomatic crisis when a stolen Goya painting disappears. The theft is causing tension between Spain and its allies, but for Charlie, it's just another opportunity to make a dishonest living. However, when compromising pictures of British diplomats come to light, the situation becomes complicated. With the help of his thuggish manservant Jock, Charlie must navigate a web of governments, secret organizations, and a young German woman who doesn't see him as just a man of business. A hilarious and entertaining novel that combines the wit of P G Wodehouse with the espionage of Ian Fleming.
