Tom Hollander continues William Boyd's brilliantly funny short story series skewering the contemporary art world.

Giles Flint-Greenfield, a St James' art dealer with a penchant for post-war British watercolours, is finding his world rather small. But when Ludo Abernathy, an old and far more successful art dealer friend, cuts him in on the mother of a deal, new and potentially terrifying horizons open up for him in East London. All too soon Giles has swapped his tweed for black leather, and St James’ for a car maintenance shop, and is feeling very much out of his depth among the art lovers of Leyton.

In today's story, Giles' gallery out in Leyton is now on the map. And 'Art consultant' Ludo Abernathy is making his name, and quite a lot of money in the contemporary art world. But are his methods entirely legit?
