Fortunately Lady Hillcrest has other things on her mind, principally son and heir Tarquin's continued inability to acquire a bride to carry on the family line. Personal stylist Juste Valadier is called in to turn Tarquin into a more attractive proposition. Also in attendance is a sinister Eastern European hit-man seeking out his victim and willing to eliminate anyone in his way. Add to the mix the Finneran family and blunt businessman, Norman Arbuthnot and a successful event seems a rather distant possibility... |
