Not that that matters to Charlie ... until compromising pictures of some British diplomats also come into his possession and start to muddy the waters. All hes trying to do is make a dishonest living but various governments secret organizations and an unbelievably nubile young German dont see it that way and pretty soon hes in great need of his thuggish manservant Jock to keep them all at bay ... and the Goya safe. First published in the 1970s this hilarious novel is part Ian Fleming part P G Wodehouse. It is now a major motion picture starring Johnny Depp as Mortdecai Ewan McGregor as Jock and Gwyneth Paltrow. A rare mixture of wit and imaginative unpleasantness Julian Barnes You couldnt snuggle under the duvet with anything more disreputable and delightful Stephen Fry The jokes are excellent but the most horrible things keep happening...
