Frustrated in love and sex and unsure what to do with his life, young Nelson Leatherby sets out from his home town of Durban, South Africa, to start a new life in England.

Before he leaves, he sells his prize possessions-his beloved Triumph motorcycle and old Rover 90-to Rafferty Farnsworth, a bon vivant who doesn't always have the best of intentions...and who will eventually put Leatherby's very life in danger.

Installed in his new life in London, Leatherby sets out to transform himself into an English gentleman. He acquires a job with a shipping company, moves into a flat next to two gorgeous and alluring women, and sets out find his place in the upper echelons of society-and vanquish his sexual frustration.

Everything goes according to plan until Rafferty shows up with an angry mafia Don on his trail. Suddenly, Leatherby finds himself running for his life in the company of Camille, an extraordinary and beautiful woman.

Full of sex, lies, intrigue, art theft, stolen identities, and all the other hallmarks of a great caper, Lord Souffle is a rollicking adventure that takes readers from Durban's sunny beaches to high society London and back again.
