Celebrations for a right Charlie
Article Abstract:
Kyril Bonfiglioli, who died in 1985, wrote three thrillers featuring the character Charlie Mortdecai. He had also completed 20 out of 21 chapters of a four Mortdecai book, 'The Great Mortdecai Moustache Mystery.' This chapter has now been written by parodist Craig Brown, and the book has been published by Black Spring Press. Fans of Bonfiglioli, who also wrote a historical novel and a number of short stories, have reacted very positively to this development.
