Laszlo's Millions - Jon Elkon - Bog

It is the 1970's in hippie London. Tom Bloch, a South African spy, learns he is likely to inherit several millions from his dead grandmother Hazel. We discover how she met and fell in love with the priapic Count Laszlo Mindchyck, the Laszlo of the title, only to run away into the mists of war when bullied and tormented by his dreadful offspring. And how, many years later, she drops dead when informed that she is his heir...leaving Tom, her heir, likely to inherit everything. But there are conditions! Tom has nine months to prove that he is a responsible member of society and not a drug-fuelled hippie spy with a pathologically murderous wife...will a mere £68 million be enough to persuade Tom to wear a three-piece suit and betray his friends? Tom's adventures over these nine months take the reader on a journey which is both hilarious and heartbreaking.
