Biography[]
Book series[]
Taking inspiration from Agatha Raisin, Jack took early retirement from his job in public relations. He and his wife moved to Spain to fulfil his dream of running a bar. However, Jack insisted on opening up an English style bar in the Costa Del Sol, which was unsurprisingly not favoured much by the Spanish locals nor the more upper-class tourists who wished to experience Spanish culture rather than more of their own. The bar also placed a strain on his relationship with his wife, who worked hard cooking in the bar's hot kitchen whilst Jack worked front of house and flirted with customers. After the tourist season ended, the bar's already sparse clientele dried up. Ultimately, Jack was forced to sell up the short-lived business and move back to England with his wife.
Now back in London and struggling financially, the Pomfrets were living in a basement flat in a rundown area. To save face, they justified their quick return home due to the Spanish climate not suiting them. In an attempt to recover financially, he made out that he was interesting in starting up a new PR firm and invited Agatha to meet with him in London to discuss her potential involvement in the business. Although she was initially taken in by his proposal, she soon saw through his scheme. Jack was particularly annoyed as he had already spent money taking Agatha out to an expensive meal and hiring actors to impersonate businessmen at a meeting with her.
