To outward appearances, the country mansion known as the Bear Garden is a respectable business management training school. At weekends, however, it takes on a secret life as a lavish hospitality centre where business deals are clinched over superlative food and wine in the company of beautiful women hand-picked to meet the guests' desires. One weekend visitor, Richard Streamer, discovers that even this is not the true role of the Bear Garden. Violence and death close in on him as he begins to uncover the truth about the international organisation behind it all. Ancient barbaric sports and great feasts are re-created in the house and grounds as covers for the real happenings at the Bear Garden. All the while, Richard wonders whether or not he can trust Rainbird, the enigmatic girl who has been chosen as his partner for the weekend's festivities.
