Charlie’s life is a trainwreck. He’s a divorced substitute teacher stuck in a house his siblings want to sell, with dreams of opening a pub dashed by bank rejections. Then Uncle Jake—who he barely knew—dies and leaves him a supervillain empire.
Suddenly, Charlie’s got an island lair, lava pits, and…a mountain of problems. Jake’s enemies—cutthroat villains backed by corporations—are out for blood, and they won’t stop until Charlie and his newfound empire are ashes. Armed with unionized dolphins, a spy cat smarter than him, and a henchperson who terrifies him, Charlie must decide: can a nice guy survive in a world of villainy?
Inheriting evil might just be Charlie’s ticket to the top. But will he rise—or burn?
