Sinopsis

Dive into a tale of desire, intrigue and skulduggery


Hidden in the English countryside lies Lockwood Institute, an academy for the sons and daughters of the aspirational. Or as Spencer Lockwood, reluctant heir apparent believes, the most loathsome gathering of reprobates in the land. When Spencer is summoned back to this ghastliness for a special assignment, he can't help wonder what fresh hell awaits him this time. Extra duties this season involve he and his cousin, Monty, joining an influential benefactor and his intrepid daughter on an expedition into the surrounding forest to track a mysterious beast seen roaming wild. Out of their element, what begins as a quest into the wilderness for Spencer and Monty becomes an odyssey of survival and unexpected events that erupt into a scandal that threatens their liberty and staggers the thinking world. As Spencer tries to keep himself and Monty out of prison and prevent institute life from unravelling, a spine-chilling discovery changes everything.


“It IS funny. Just what we all need” Cassandra Clark (Acclaimed author of the Brother Chandler trilogy and more.)

"A great story." (LoveReading)

"An intricate and well-written book. Filled with atmosphere ... I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to other literary fiction fans." (LoveReading)

"The beauty of this book is in the writing. Rover has a wonderful way with words and I found myself laughing out loud at several lines where Spencer gave his unusual views on life around him. I thoroughly enjoyed Infernal Relations by P.S. Rover which I have awarded 4.5 stars." (WhisperingStories)

"I loved this book a lot. The writing was marvellous and I enjoyed the lyrical quality of the prose, which is so rare these days in contemporary fiction. For me at least, the author’s style resembles a lot that of the revered Mark Twain. I chuckled more than I was expecting and giggled probably more than I should have. The story had a great flow and the pacing was really good and kept the flow very smooth. I enjoyed reading this book right from the beginning to the very end." (4.5 out of 5 stars, The Reading Bud)

"Rover is excellent at crafting unique sentences … with a poetic touch… Readers will leave the book impressed by his ability to squeeze all the juice out of the English language.” (Independent Book Review)

"A rollercoaster ride" (Independent Book Review)

This book will especially delight fans of:
Three Men on a Boat (J.K. Jerome), Diary of a Nobody (Grossmith), Mark Twain, Augustus Carp Esq., James Thurber, The Ascent of Rum Doodle (E.W. Bowman), Wodehouse.
