 I read this in one sitting (a morning essentially). Charlie is an unemployed journalist turned substitute teacher barely making a living. His rich uncle Jake (his mom's brother) dies and he seems to be the sole heir. He inherits a seat at a secret villain society that was the inspiration of SPECTRE. Throw in cats that can type and dolphins that can speak and its a fun crazy book about powerful men who want to control the world. Highly Recommend
