After You with the Pistol―the second Charlie Mortdecai novel by Kyril Bonfiglioli, soon to be a major film starring Johnny Depp
“Mr Mortdecai, why do you suppose I and my superiors have preserved you from death at very very great trouble and expense?” Charlie Mortdecai―degenerate aristocrat and victim of his own larceny and licentiousness―has no idea. Until it is made clear to him that he must marry the beautiful, sex-crazed and very, very rich Johanna Krampf. The fly in the ointment is that Johanna thinks nothing of involving poor Charlie in her life-threatening schemes such as monarch-assassination, heroin smuggling and―worst of all―survival training at a college for feminist spies. Perhaps, it's all in a good cause―if only Charlie can live long enough to find out."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Kyril Bonfiglioli (1928 – 1985) was an art dealer, accomplished fencer, a fair shot with most weapons, and a serial marrier of beautiful women. He claimed to be “abstemious in all things except drink, food, tobacco, and talking,” and “loved and respected by all who knew him slightly.”
