Leonard St ck is an architect who compares himself with the very best. Why is it, then, that he has never reached the pinnacle of his profession? Flamboyant and flawed, he needs help, so he uses his assistants Brian Farmer and his gay friend Dave Bonney, to help. Both want to break away and do their own thing, but Brian is forced by Leonard to work with Hank Nero, America's hottest architectural talent in his Los Angeles office to work on a project that is sure to benefit Leonard more than anyone else. In the meantime, Leonard's wife, Petra, has suspected her husband's long working hours have more to do with his success between the sheets than in his professional life. While Brian suffers Leonard, Dave's need for love is met by another key player in the drama, a friend of Leonard's, Drew Sharpe. All the twists and plotting culminates in an hilarious, and devastating Christmas Party that no one in the office will ever forget.Reviews: "...extremely funny at times, and not without moments of real pathos. One feels oneself empathising with many of the characters, ridiculing others and even hating one or two. There is an underlying seriousness which is also much to be admired. Altogether very enjoyable and highly recommended." Buffshot*"With its cliff hanging ending, this is an excellent, disturbing and compulsive read, which reveals the dark savage underbelly of what is generally assumed to be a civilized, urbane profession." Letterman*"I thought the characters were drawn really well and life-like. Dave and Brian and Petra and Alistair etc - really well written, and thought through What a crash bang ending And how subtle, was it real, or a dream, or a drunk halucination? Very clever, and very well done. Now I need to get my hands on the sequel."SG*"It was great fun to read. I found it addictive, too. I hope there's a sequel."Aiai
