Brighton 1956 When Mirabelle's on-off boyfriend, Superintendent
Alan McGregor, is taken off a gruesome murder case because the key
suspect is an old school friend, Mirabelle steps in to unravel the
tangle of poisoned gin, call girls and high stakes gambling that
surrounds the death. It isn't long before McGregor's integrity is
called into question and Mirabelle finds herself doubting him. So
when a wartime hero's body turns up on the Sussex Downs, she is
glad that McGregor is caught up in a mystery of his own as
Brighton's establishment closes ranks. Mirabelle is in a dangerous
situation though and she doesn't have McGregor watching her back on
this one. And when the dead man on the Downs turns out to have been
a member of a deadly thrillseekers club, related to the earlier
murder, Mirabelle is determined to uncover the truth and free the
innocent people who are bearing the brunt of the cover up. As her
relationship with McGregor reaches breaking point, she has to draw
on all her wartime experience to stand up for what she believes in
- even if it means their relationship may not survive. 'With sharp
blows delivered for gender and racial equality, Sheridan's story
builds to a chilling climax' Daily Mail 'This consistently
impressive series is a kind of "hard-boiled cosy", combining an
emphasis on atmosphere and the lives of the recurring characters
with a stern eye for post-war strugges against inequality and
deference' Morning Star
