Farrell, U.K.

Book excerpt: Leaving the comfort and familiarity of his home in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, Farrell travels to London with his partner Tony for a six month business trip. Tony is there to direct a new musical stage production. Farrell accepts an internship in the most important kitchen in all of Great Britain. They live together in a superb flat complete with a stodgy, and very proper, British butler. While living and working in London, Farrell and Tony meet a number of celebrities who reveal their more personal nature. These encounters include meeting a few members of The Royal Family. Farrell also finds a rather perplexing mystery to solve when he discovers that there is a young man in London that looks exactly like him. As in the first two novels, Farrell and Farrell, Inc., this third installment in the series once again demonstrates the positive side of being "in the life," while at the same time providing some marvelously entertaining and humorous adventures.
