<p>Dr. Dulcinea (<em>Dulcie</em>) Chambers is honored to have the esteemed British artist Logan Dumbarton as a guest at the Maine Museum of Art. The abstract expressionist painter has come all the way from London to teach a master class. His students, a group of talented local artists, are initially in awe. However, the eccentric artist is accompanied by an entourage that is proving less than ideal. His stunningly exotic wife Isabel is a constant distraction with her incessant whining, while Linda, Logan&rsquo;s ever-efficient sister and business manager, does nothing but placate her brother&rsquo;s whims. To make matters worse, Logan seems to vacillate between annoyingly sniveling and irritatingly egocentric at any given moment.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Within a week the entire class loathes him. Is he really worth all of this trouble? Somebody doesn&rsquo;t seem to think so, and it&rsquo;s up to Dulcie to find out who. But she&rsquo;ll have to team up with Detective Nicholas Black once again, and at the moment their relationship can only be described as <em>fragile</em>.</p>
