Lady (Jack) Troutbeck is missing. So is celebrity curator Sir Henry Fortune and his partner, art dealer Jason Pringle. Then the London art world panics when no one can locate Anastasia Holliday, sensational abject artist; Jake Thorogood, the critic who catapulted her into stardom; or Dr. Hortense Wilde, who influenced generations of art students to despise craftsmanship. Who will be next? Sir Nicholas Serota, mighty overlord of British temples of the avant garde? Internationally renowned Young British Artist Damien Hirst? Charles Saatchi, mega-rich husband of a TV cook, who took talentless young people and turned them into a winning brand? When news comes of a New York disappearance, the fears of the art establishment go transatlantic. And now Baroness Troutbeck is a target. Can Jack's friends rescue her before she becomes the next horrifying "hommage murder" satirizing notorious works of art?
