“Hmm, well, that’s all. That's it. I had a life.” This is the beginning. Next - the inexplicable rescue of the main character at the last minute, a wedding, an attempt on the life of the Queen of Great Britain, etchings by Rembrandt van Rijn as a means of storing cash, a particularly unsatisfactory education at the Teachers College for Young Ladies, a raid in Hong Kong, smuggling of tooth powder and worsening relations with the angry secret services of several countries The Honorable Charlie McCabray, a successful art dealer, a lover of antiques and money, an immoral and charming gourmet and hedonist, and with him his luxurious wife, the former Mrs. Krampf, and their servant, a professional thug and “anti-Jeeves” Jock - on the next round of dangerous adventures in a book that would make Raymond Chandler and P.G. proud. Woodhouse. In the second volume of the brilliant "Maccabrae Trilogy" you will learn a lot about the smuggling of art and the art of smuggling, about global conspiracies, regicides and Chinese intelligence services. Perhaps even too much for your own good. Morality is not guaranteed, to be continued, according to tradition.
