Jeeves and the Leap of Faith: A Novel in Homage to P. G. Wodehouse
by Ben Schott - Fiction, Historical Fiction, Humor

In his eagerly anticipated sequel to JEEVES AND THE KING OF CLUBS, Ben Schott leads Jeeves and Wooster on another uproarious escapade. From the mean streets of Mayfair to the scheming spires of Cambridge, we encounter a joyous cast of characters: chiseling painters and criminal bookies, eccentric philosophers and dodgy clairvoyants, appalling poets and pocket dictators, vexatious aunts and their vicious hounds. But that’s not all: Who is ICEBERG, and why is he covered in chalk? Why is Jeeves reading WINNIE-THE-POOH? What is seven across and 85 down? How do you play Russian Roulette at The Savoy?

Jeeves and the King of Clubs: A Novel in Homage to P.G. Wodehouse
by Ben Schott - Fiction, Humor

The misadventures of Bertie Wooster and his incomparable personal gentleman, Jeeves, have delighted audiences for nearly a century. Now bestselling author Ben Schott brings this odd couple back to life in a madcap new adventure full of the hijinks, entanglements, imbroglios and Wodehousian wordplay that readers love. The Junior Ganymede Club (an association of England's finest butlers and valets) is revealed to be an elite arm of the British secret service. Jeeves must ferret out a Fascist spy embedded in the highest social circles, and only his hapless employer, Bertie, can help. Unfolding in the background are school-chum capers, affairs of the heart, antics with aunts and sartorial set-tos.
