In the revised & extended 2026 edition of Connor Parnell's tale of a feckless and dishonest womanizer's fall from grace; we follow Bennett Townsend as he embarks on an affair while unaware the woman is the wife of a dangerous and vengeful London mobster.

A vengeful and ruthless man from whom Bennett's ignorance of his married-status will not save him.

If, that is, the man and those in his employ ever manage to catch-up with him.

An eventuality Townsend tries to circumvent by fleeing to a Norfolk coastal town while using his backpacking brother's identity as he waits for passions to cool before reinventing himself somewhere further north and a distance from London.

But waiting costs money and, though it doesn't sit well with him, he finds himself forced to look for work.

The work he finds involving a position in the home of a woman from Kenya, recently widowed by her English husband.

Along with her younger friend and housekeeper from the same land.

Bennett Townsend not to know his feckless and womanizing days are over for good when the two plus-size women from the Dark Continent decide he is exactly the Englishman they have been hoping to find.

A decision on their part about to leave him trapped in their home on the North Sea with very little hope of leaving it without their permission - if he doesn't want a certain murderous and still vengeful London thug to know his whereabouts, that is.

It being the intention of the two African women to not only trap him in their home but train, educate, and all but indenture the handsome Englishman into a life of domestic and personal service.

Mr Parnell's original tale of how one man's misadventure and how it leads to a thoroughly deserved fate; is now revised and extended by around seven-thousand words.
