1955. When Mirabelle Bevan is rescued from a fire at her home on
the Brighton seafront she's lucky to escape unharmed - but the
blaze takes the life of her neighbour, Dougie Beaumont, a dashing
and successful racing driver living in the flat above. It soon
becomes clear that this was arson, raising questions about the
young man's death that Mirabelle can't resist investigating
further. With her curiosity piqued and on the trail of a potential
killer she finds herself taking on the mysterious world of Fleet
Street with its long lunches and dodgy deals as well as the
glamorous motor racing world at Goodwood. It gradually becomes
clear to Mirabelle that Dougie Beaumont's life was not as
above-board as it first seemed and that this talented man had many
secrets, hidden when he was alive by his international lifestyle
where he was constantly on the move. Then, when a second shocking
murder takes place, Mirabelle's pursuit is frustrated first by
Dougie's well-connected and suspicious family and then by the
official investigation - led by her would-be lover Superintendent
McGregor. With the help of her colleague at McGuigan & McGuigan
Debt Recovery, Vesta, and some of her ex-intelligence service
connections, Mirabelle discovers the dark secrets of the glamorous
racing driver have ramifications far beyond the English coastline.
