'The Killing of Sister George' goes down under in 'Charnel Knowledge' by Fiesta Carrera. 'Charnel Knowledge' takes aim at lesbian bloodlust, Anzacs, psychiatrists and missionaries in a flagrant, sexually-charged comedy crossed with a science thriller, ranging from inner-city Sydney to north Queensland and on to the Scottish Highlands. Blossom Bravo is the fading star of axed soap opera 'Pensioner'. Her lover, kitty litter heiress Pandora Mainprize, tries to rescue Blossom from the clutches of the bottle and grasping starlets. Rent boy, Marvin Tripplehorn, moves from a tent in Blossom's backyard to a gratifying fiscal relationship with Darcy, a Gallipoli veteran. Pastor Esmond Savage’s love for his pet emu leads him to commit the unpardonable sin. As Narelle Urdzanna, documentary maker and Aboriginal activist, learns the high price to be paid for arousing Pandora's charnel desires, so K. Y. Gellibrand, author of 'The Waistland', a novel concerning intrigues at a diet resort, is stalked by a serial killer.

From the Author:

Melanie and Lindsay would have one hell of a time with this book.

From the Inside Flap:

‘She skirted the fringes of the dance floor like a dingo circling its prey...Blossom’s and Giselle’s mouths were locked together like the undersides of mating leeches. "I’ll send ****hooks on a trip she won’t forget," Pandora snarled.’
