Close of Play by Simon Raven vintage paperback 1964 Scandalous British Fiction. Good vintage condition. There is age spotting on the book block and yellowing to pages. Binding in good order.

Raven's “well- oiled prose transports the characters from spring fever to summer nightmare without a single breakdown”.

SYNOPSIS: They are young and entirely unconventional. They have finished at Cambridge and done the tour of Europe. Now the three friends need to earn a living, so they have set up a unique organisation – a very exclusive London club with high membership fees, affordable only to a select few, and where the services on offer are richly varied and exotic. The menu is sex, in every imaginable form, guaranteed to satisfy any craving and fulfil any desire. Some of the world's most prominent people make up the clientele.

Author Simon Raven was perhaps known as much for his controversial behaviour as for his writing.
