About
Kyril Bonfiglioli's wickedly fun mysteries featuring the Honorable Charlie Mortdecai—degenerate aristocrat, amoral art dealer, seasoned epicurean, unwilling assassin, and general knave-about-Picadilly—are cult classics in the UK. Charlie's back in After You With the Pistol, along with his thuggish manservant, Jock, and his penchant for too much whiskey—which makes it all the more difficult to figure out what his beautiful new wife Joanna is up to when she tries to convince Charlie to kill the Queen.

Reviews
"The sensibility of this wonderful farce with its joyously acrobatic literary style, affronted dignity, and frank assertions of cowardice is part Bertie Wooster and part Henry Flashman-to which has been added a soupcon of something like J. Peterman."
Boston Sunday Globe
"Bonfiglioli's marvelous creation never flags, mixing the best of Ian Fleming's 007 with P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster. Listening to Mortdecai natter on…all while he escapes certain death at every corner, is one of life's great pleasures."
