Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Count Duckuloni di Borgia is an apparently urbane, aristocratic playboy by day, but by night he is infamous cat-burglar The Leopard! Desired by women, envied by men! His life might have continued in this way until he is contacted by Nikos Furiopolous, of the Greek resistance. Furiopolous recruits him in the fight against the fascist overlord Dr Calamari!

With kid sidekick, The Kitten, at his side, can The Leopard crack the case, save the world and be back at the baccarat tables before dawn?

That's an interesting, and quite possibly unique, reading of The Leopard. Maybe I should reread it

I thought a Leopard was someone from Leopardy, a small sovereign state that later became part of the unified Italy? I'm sure that's right.

Read the first chapter at lunch. He's just taken the Duchess Di Malfi's diamonds right from under the careless eyes of her bodyguards.
