"an excellent, disturbing and compulsive read..."
Leonard Stück is an architect who compares himself with the very best, but why is it he has never reached the pinnacle of his profession? Flamboyant and flawed, Leonard he uses his assistants, Brian Farmer, and his gay best friend Dave Bonney, to help him get ahead. Both want to break away and do their own thing, however, though not before Brian is forced to work with Leonard, and Hank Nero, America's hottest architectural talent, in his Los Angeles office, on a project everyone wants to take the credit, Leonard more than anyone.
Leonard's wife, Petra, in the meantime, suspects that her husband's long working hours have more to do his philandering than promoting their business, and Dave finds love in the shape of Leonard's friend, Drew, bringing yet more twists and turns to plots that culminate in a hilarious, and devastating, Christmas Party that no one will ever forget.
Reviews:
"extremely funny at times, and not without moments of real pathos...very enjoyable and highly recommended." Amazon Review
"A clever narrative, a realistic & ironic view." Amazon Review
"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." Amazon Review
