AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Scobie Spruce is a celebrity novelist with a serious pill-popping habit and a seriously rich wife, Claudia. But things are beginning to fall apart. His new novel about the body parts industry runs into trouble when his research assistant is beaten up and quits...When Scobie strips naked to a literary lunch of derisive old ladies, Claudia has him banged away in the Bel Ami de-tox clinic. But someone has to write the books and the enigmatic Plant grabs the opportunity...' - back cover
