About the book
Charlie is a divorced substitute teacher whose modest ambition is to buy a neighborhood pub. Instead, an estranged uncle leaves him a supervillain enterprise, an island headquarters, and a collection of dangerous enemies. Thrown into a world of corporate predators and improbable employees, including unusually capable cats, Charlie must figure out the business quickly enough to survive the people who want his inheritance.
