Charlie MortdecaiSéria

Táto séria sleduje dobrodružstvá excentrického a zhýralého aristokrata a obchodníka s umením. S typickým cynickým humorom sa protagonista zaplieta do nebezpečných a absurdných situácií, často kvôli svojej záľube v umení, peniazoch a alkohole. Každý príbeh ho zavedie na nové, bizarné miesta, kde čelí nielen zločinu, ale aj vlastným excesom. Je to fascinujúca zmes detektívky, paródie a satirického pohľadu na vyššiu spoločnosť.

    Art dealer and seasoned epicurean Charlie Mortdecai comes into possession of a stolen Goya, the disappearance of which is causing a diplomatic ruction between Spain and its allies. 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 he's trying to do is make a dishonest living, but various governments, secret organizations and an unbelievably nubile young German don't see it that way and pretty soon he's in great need of his thuggish manservant Jock to keep them all at bay ... and the Goya safe.

    „Nazywam sie Charlie Mortdecai. Lubie sztuke, pieniadze, sprosne dowcipy i alkohol. Bardzo dobrze mi sie wiedzie...” Czcigodny Charlie Mortdecai – zdegenerowany arystokrata i niemoralny marszand – tkwi w kłopotach po uszy. Nadkomisarz Martland poszukuje skradzionego obrazu Goi i podejrzewa, ze Charlie albo ma płótno, albo wie, gdzie sie ono znajduje. Nie myli sie, niestety. Co gorsza, okazuje sie, ze to dzieło sztuki przysparza nieszczesnemu marszandowi i jego łobuzowatemu słuzacemu Jockowi nie lada problemów. Jesli nie beda ostrozni, kilku paskudnych typów z bronia moze ich zabic – na smierc. „Rzadko spotykany mariaz inteligencji i błyskotliwej niepoprawnosci politycznej” - Julian Barnes Kyril Bon glioli (1928–1985) – angielski ekscentryk, aktor, marszand dzieł sztuki, wydawca magazynu „Science Fantasy”, ojciec piatki dzieci i wreszcie pisarz. Zmarł w 1985 na marskosc watroby. Jego powiesci o przygodach bezwstydnego Mordecaia zyskały miano kultowych.

    Art dealer and assassin Charlie Mortdecai has fled to Jersey, taking his thug Jock along with him, just in case. For now though he's had enough of secret government agencies, of stolen paintings, of terrifying Chinese gangs, and he's getting on surprisingly well with his nubile young wife. But there's no peace for the wicked - and Charlie can sometimes be very wicked indeed. When it seems there's a sexual pervert at loose on the island targeting nice middle-class ladies, Charlie takes it upon himself to find the deviant. Which is how he finds himself in the dead of night up against a tree, his ear nailed to the trunk...

    Don't Point that Thing at Me finds Charlie momentarily distracted by a police charge accusing him of stealing a priceless Goya; a nuisance that he overcomes without passing up a single glass of fine wine or plate of foie gras. In After You with a Pistol Mortdecai is roped into a marriage with a beautiful Viennese heiress, who is willing to blissfully accompany him on his life of taste and intrigue as long as he can help her with one little errand: assassinate the Queen of England. Something Nasty in the Woodshed features Charlie, exiled in London due to his growing unpopularity fueled by the aforementioned shady art deal, taking refuge on the island of Jersey. What begins as a epicurean interlude morphs into a macabre manhunt as Charlie seeks to expose a local rapist.
