Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Jennifer Morgue is the second novel in The Laundry Files by Charles Stross. The book also includes the Laundry short-story "Plimpf".Bob Howard is the newest field agent for The Laundry, a top-secret government organization devoted to keeping the UK safe from magical threats, and preventing the public from learning that magic is real. With a background in IT, Bob is very much aware that working for a secret government agency—even one as unusual as The Laundry—is not as exciting as fiction might make you think. It's still a hidebound, bureaucratic government agency with endless paperwork. His latest assignment, however, is starting to take some unusual turns. First, he's asked to meet with a foreign agent, Ramona Random, who turns out to be a serious Femme Fatale—and far more dangerous than she first appears. Next, he's sent to a beautiful Caribbean island to investigate a billionaire who lives on a former warship converted into a yacht—and who may be planning to take over the world.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It's all beginning to feel like something straight out of a James Bond film. | |

Batman Gambit: The villain attempts this. His plan depends on the Laundry and the Black Chamber trying to stop him. Needless to say, it doesn't work out. | |

Femme Fatale | |
| The Jennifer Morgue / int_90b66e22 | comment |
Ramona Random, Bob's liason with the Black Chamber (the US's far-more-brutal and ruthless equivalent of The Laundry) is a Femme Fatale who has no hesitation to kill. Which is unsurprising, since she's possessed by an extra-dimensional sex-demon. | |

| The Jennifer Morgue / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: James Bond gets an Aston-Martin; Bob gets a Smart car. It develops shades of Cool Car later in the book, as its Bond-esque gadgets actually come in handy. | |
