'A stunning and surreal look at class and power, this book is a revelation' - Whippet Reads
Working double shifts for minimum wage at a care home for boys with learning disabilities, Ben Foster and his young family are ground down by poverty and debt. When he inherits a sizeable windfall from his gran, Ben decides to qualify as a masseur. Soon he is introduced to the mysterious 'committee' - a group of female socialites with one thing in common: they adore sex and don't mind paying for it. With his dark hair, blue eyes, and robust appendage that the ladies dub Big Ben, the shy careworker is drawn into a world of private jets, Parisian sex clubs, state secrets, endless lines of cocaine and orgies in country houses with a Who's Who of celebrities, MPs and the international super rich. Ben Foster's true life story explores the extravagance of old and new wealth in today's Britain and reveals how some of the super rich relieve their boredom with multiple partners and through sex lives that grow ever kinkier. As Ben's bank account swells, he acquires a taste for the good life. But what will happen when his wife discovers he has been giving more than just massages...?
