The Nudists - Guy Bellamy

SIMON VENABLES, HONEYMOONING UNDER THE SCORCHING MEDITERRANEAN SUN, HAS JUST SEEN THE WOMAN HE SHOULD HAVE MARRIED.

She is a pneumatic blonde called Pym whose two page-three assets leave Simon sick with lust. But Pym is married to dynamic Ben Brock, brash adman, brimming with cash from the lucrative pharmaceuticals market.

Meanwhile, back in Thatcherite Britain, penniless Nick Bannerman is bashing out Battered Husbands, the misogynist mega-seller that will hoist him into the world of designer sex and driven success that Ben Brock already enjoys.

Soon these three parties will find themselves in a tangle of crossed destinies on a holiday to remember.
