The Worst Man in London

In London during the Victorian era, among the artistic community and the political conspiracy, there moves a man with an adventurous spirit and great acumen: Charles Augustus Howell, the Portugee, born in Porto to a Portuguese mother and an English father, agent for great artists and art dealer, secret agent and master of blackmail. Arthur Conan Doyle made him a character in the detective Sherlock Holmes stories and called him the worst man in London.
