Shenanigans — Steve Parker

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 schools 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 party 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! (If you dont laugh out loud, youre dead.)
