Shenanigans

The historic McGillchrist Hall becomes a private sixth form school for 17 year old boys(and some girls), and the shenanigans begin. Meet Sidney Trip, the hapless headmaster and his enormous wife, Amelia. Meet Ziad Al-Jawali the school' s billionaire founder. Meet the teaching heroes, sexual athlete Dick Partridge and the ' collector' , Matthew Atkinson and their women. The delicious Gloria and the pneumatic ' dinosaur' , Melanie. Meet the student heroes, Julian Rideout-Lightleigh, a lisping upper-class twit who is befriended by Sonny Castarini a New Yorker with Mafia connections, and their women. The beautiful ' Georgie' and the nubile Tamsin. When Sonny uncovers a heroin smuggling plot whilst Julian is losing his virginity in a Birmingham ' massage parlor' , the balloon really goes up! Inexorably both local and big-city villains, (not to mention an Arab assassin) meet up at McGillchrist Hall at the same time as an illegal staff part and a rescheduled meeting of the governors. The police and fire department have their work cut out to contain the mayhem. The climax is both cataclysmic and prophetic. This is truly a ripping yarn!
