Thomas Chaloner is relieved to be summoned home from Tangier. Back in London, & reunited with his new wife, he is nonetheless exasperated by the reason for his return home. His master, the Earl of Clarendon, has recalled him to investigate petty theft from the construction site of Claredon's embarrassingly sumptuous new house near Piccadilly. However, within hours of his return, the Chaloner is embroiled in rumours of assassination, a stolen corpse & a scheme to frame the Queen for treason. Gradually he realises that all these events have links to the violence & corruption he has witnessed on the north African coast, & all are rooted at the heart of the capital's establishment. Courtiers vying for a share of the riches to be had from trading overseas are not going to have their ambitions thwarted by anyone, least of all by Chaloner. ...

Published in 1836, The Pickwick Papers not only introduced the quixotic figure of Samuel Pickwick, Esquire to the world but also the immense talent of Charles Dickens.

The 24-year old Dickens applied his wonderful descriptive powers to a series of farcical events, which are still guaranteed to raise laughs. Among the other unforgettable characters are wily villain Alfred Jingle, inept Lothario Tracy Tupman &, perhaps best of all, crafty cockney Samuel Weller with his idiosyncratic sayings & advice.

Every page bursts with comic invention as our rotund hero & his friends rattle round southern England in horse-drawn coaches on the look-out for adventure.
