Context Clues follows the adventures of history's worst spy: Basil Coventry, is the antithesis of Ian Fleming's James Bond. He's arrogant, petty, meek, forgetful and klutzy, not to mention a raging alcoholic. How the man puts his clothes on--let alone foils evil plots and schemes--remains one of the great mysteries of the universe.
The story begins as the agent is called to his superior's office to receive his new assignment. Unfortunately, Coventry has just returned home after an all-night bender at the local watering hole. He hears not a word of what is told to him and spends the rest of the story struggling to identify the very mystery he is to solve! Luckily, the agent finds himself surrounded by a cast of extremely savvy supporting characters and, not unlike a good Hollywood producer, makes absolutely no bones about stealing their theories and ideas.
Now if he can just avoid getting them all killed before they solve the mystery...
