1955, Brighton and Goodwood.

When a glamorous racing driving is found hanging by the neck in a burning flat on Brighton's seafront, Mirabelle Bevan finds herself compelled by apparent inconsistencies in his story. His father is barely grieving, his friends appear to have fallen out with each other and no apparent reason can be found for the golden boy's suicide. Mirabelle follows the trail to Goodwood's famous racetrack where she uncovers a web of deceit, shameful secrets and an unraveling family mystery that the people involved will go to any lengths to cover up.
