These scoundrels have something far less amusing planned for the man who has consistently foiled their quest for power and wealth. The wine is drugged the girl is nowhere in sight.
This trio of cunning plotters-the merchant, Antonio the senator, Montressor Brabantio and the naval officer, Iago-have lured Pocket to a dark dungeon, promising a spirited evening with a rare Amontillado sherry and a fetching young noblewoman. Three prominent Venetians await their most loathsome and foul dinner guest, the erstwhile envoy from Britain who also happens to be a favorite of the Doge: the rascal-Fool Pocket. New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore channels William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe in this satiric Venetian gothic featuring the irresistibly mischievous Pocket of Dog Snogging, the eponymous hero of Fool Venice, a really long time ago.
