When Sybil Potts receives an invitation to a pop-up gallery opening, she's rather hoping for canapés and polite conversation. What she gets instead is an eyeful of Cressida's latest artistic endeavours (truly, some things cannot be unseen) and a corpse that's decidedly more permanent than the installation art.

With Mr Buttons offering his usual brand of unhelpful assistance, Sybil finds herself navigating a world of temperamental artists, suspicious collectors, and gallery owners with rather too many secrets. Someone at the opening had murder on their mind, and it certainly wasn't inspired by Cressida's questionable colour palette.

But as Sybil digs deeper into the art world's less savoury corners, she begins to wonder: was the victim simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, or did they know something that made them the perfect subject for a rather fatal composition?
