Professor Margaret Spence Eliot thought life was finally beginning to settle down after a year of personal upheaval that included getting married, accepting a new position at Oxford and having some other adventures. Then she meets Jersey Jones, a new media celebrity famous for her cable TV show, Jersey Jones and the New World Order. Jersey has come to England to interview Maggie's friend Stanley Einhorn, the hi-tech venture capitalist. Jersey is entranced by the Cotswolds and announces she wants to produce a mini-series she's going to call Jersey Jones and the Old World Order. To Maggie's astonishment, her husband Thomas agrees to let Jersey and her crew come and film at Beaumatin, his Cotswolds estate. Maggie is torn between irritation and amusement until a murder occurs and one of Thomas' staff is arrested for the crime. And Maggie decides that it will have to be the Old World Order to the rescue.
