When a souffle fails to rise, friends try to find out why and uncover a web of corruption that spreads throughout Bath's legal system. Set in the early 1830s, this comic gay historical novel exposes the bigotry of the times but also introduces a new literary and moral hero-Belle Nash, city councillor and bachelor. About time!

About the Author
William "Bill" Keeling is a former foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and exposed a multi- billion-dollar corruption scandal in Nigeria. He eventually left journalism for chocolate, becoming co- owner of the historic chocolate company Prestat, but is still plotting his return to the true home of jollof rice. William lives and writes in Somerset. Belle Nash and the Bath Souffle is the first in what will be a four-part series.

Reviews
Alexander McCall Smith -- "A real romp of a book - full of surprises!" / Jeanette Winterson -- "Funny, clever, silly in the right way, and strangely moving in its unexpected ending. I love the alt-Regency Bath that Keeling has built." / Matthew Parris -- "By turns incisive, outlandish and hilarious! ... there's a brilliance in The Gay Street Chronicles, half-modern, half-Dickensian." / Peter Tatchell -- "Bravo. A rollicking tale of corruption, intrigue and romance. A racy read!"
