Reseña del editor:

When Portia Bates is made redundant from the college she loves, she swears revenge. Soon she is diverting money from the English Department to set up a brothel and plotting the blackmail of prominent politicians. Even the cunning Portia, however, hasnt reckoned on the students ability to create enough mayhem to ruin her plansespecially when they discover a wartime arms cache beneath the college. Readers of this black satire on English education in the tradition of Tom Sharpe will never look at jacuzzis in the same way again.
