Derby Day at Epsom Downs. A multitude of people crowd to watch the
races: dukes and dustmen, bishops and beggars, privileged ladies
and prostitutes. The gamut of Victorian society and a hotbed for
crime and crooks of all kinds. With the nation a-flutter in the run
up to this national event, a disembodied head is discovered on a
passenger train at Crewe; the first in a murky course of events
that takes in murder, fraud and race-fixing. Detective Inspector
Robert Colbeck and his assistant are assigned to the case and are
soon snarled up in a web of skulduggery stretching across the
country. They are forced to ask themselves, just how much is
someone prepared to hazard to win?
