For fans of Elizabeth Day's The Party and Riot Club comes a witty, intelligent and darkly sexy portrait of life among the beautiful people.

In a decaying mansion in the middle of nowhere three unlikely companions are trying to work out where they are and how they got there.

De Vere is the spectacular art dealer who has fed on the hedonism of sixties Paris, the insanity of eighties New York and the hype of London's Young British Artists.

But now that people from his past have begun to haunt him, how much longer can he escape the dark secrets that lurk behind his phenomenal success?
