Briskly mix PAVONIA FASHION MAGAZINE and ATELIER PIEDI FAVOLOSO (an elegant Italian family business) along with a soupçon of MORTEM and POST (a private detective agency). Spice up with difficult, top fashion designer CYRIL CRISTAL. Add a dash of VESTAL VERONA, a highly temperamental not-quite-all-she-seems super model. The result - a delicious potpourri of unexpected happenings: some wild, some wonderful, some decidedly over-the-top and some unreservedly weird.Add a soupçon of an unpredictable kissogram along with a sprinkling of East End "bovver" and leave to simmer.Serve with a piquant sauce flavoured with a series of madcap events which take place in a drying up Venice (as opposed to the traditionally sinking one), a creepy, conniving Cape Town, and a Machiavellian-imbued London.Additional side "extras" include a wannabe Annie Oakley, and a sultry femme fatale named PETRONELLA who - aided and abetted by endless love and hisses - weaves a spell extraordinaire.After a first, tentative taste of PITS, PRIVATES, & FEET, the greedy gourmet will undoubtedly do an Oliver Twist and ask for more

Billionaire slayboy Treyton Templeton's ambitions hold no horizons. Albeit a Roman Emperor, a Scottish king, a Dueño del Rancho, or a souvenir collector extraordinaire: the flamboyant, ruthless, narcissistic, hedonistic young man a living exemplification of who scares wins.From his sumptuous Italian villa, Villa Jovis Il Secondo, his spectacular Manorken Estate with its questionable Colosseum Treyton Templeton, his Highland castle with its private terracotta army, to his spell-binding Argentinian Rancho Tourney Templeton (named in honour of Tournedos, his loyal, boleadoras licking four-legged friend), Treyton Templeton continues to blithely sow the evil which he so delights to reap. After all, he is omnipotent.However, will long-standing rival, wealthy South African wine grower, Brian Van der Westhuizen, finally win the day, or will it be teenage Wonder Woman, Charlotte (Charlie) Hoopes and her two loyal accomplices, who go for gold.With a colourful cast of technicolour characters, each determined to out-play Treyton Templeton in his heinous games: who scares wins is the only answer.
