He wants a pension, and what he knows will get it.Did he, between Waterloo and Wellington's funeral, cause the Peterloo riot to happen? Was it Charlie who fingered the Cato Street Conspirators? Did Shelley really drown by accident? And at the opening of the Great Exhibition was it he who saved the Queen from being blown up? With dark undertones in its revelations of the orchestrated state repression that followed the Napoleonic Wars, A Very English Agent drives a horse, well, a donkey and cart, through the early years of the nineteenth century in a rumbustious, funny, sexy, teeming novel, worthy of the times it describes.

Seller's Description:
Very Good. NICE BOOK! NO SPINE CREASES & VERY MILD WEAR ON LAMINATED COVER. LIGHTLY AGED, A FEW LIBRARY STAMPS, NO MARKINGS IN TEXT. Description: Charlie Boylan is four feet eight, and mystery writer Julian Rathbone's historical novel recounts his experiences in the Napoleonic Wars and after, when he is working as a secret agent (003) for the British government. In his romp through 19th-century history, Charlie has thwarted an assassination attempt on the life of Queen Victoria and engineered the death of Shelley, the poet, perceived as a dangerous radical element. He has also accompanied Darwin on the "Beagle." Best of all, he has written a mendacious, self-glorifying memoir about his life.
