Frozen Assets (Wodehouse Pelham Grenville); Everyman, 2009

Will playboy Biffy avoid trouble until his thirtieth birthday in a few days’ time and inherit a vast fortune from his teetotal godfather who has stipulated that he must stay sober and out of prison to get it? Not if scheming Lord Tilbury, brother of the said godfather, has anything to do with it. Already rich, Tilbury can always use a few more million – so, knowing Biffy’s weakness for wines and spirits, he and his odious henchman Pilbeam devise a fiendish plot to seduce the true heir from the path of sobriety and involve him in a riot. Find out what happens to the frozen assets in this late Wodehouse farce which revives two of his favourite villains.
