Killing the Emperors

The outrageous Baroness Troutbeck, Mistress of St Martha's, has another cultural battle to win against the British Establishment: this time, against the horror of modern art, as demonstrated by the likes of Tracey Emin and Damien Hirst. But shortly after she enthusiastically announces the war to her close friends, Baroness Troutbeck is kidnapped. Panic spreads throughout the London art world when they realise that nine more victims are missing. Could the perpetrator be a traditionalist with a grudge against contemporary art? Baroness Troutbeck's sidekick Robert Amiss and other loyal friends must work with Scotland Yard to find her. But can they reach her in time?
