The story so far: London in the spring of 2021. Celebrity art historian and well-connected man about town Campbell Flynn has a lucrative side hustle as courtier-consultant to famous fashion designer Izzy Pick — which in no way detracts from his status as class-conscious standard bearer for liberal values.
