As the final hours of 1921 tick down, Clara Fitzgerald, Brighton's first female private detective, and Captain O'Harris prepare to celebrate New Year's Eve aboard the liner Mary Jane. Little do they know that the evening is going to be disrupted by the discovery of a mine in the water. In the ensuing panic, a guest disappears and is found dead, murdered by someone aboard the ship.

The victim's identity is a mystery, as much as why he was killed. Now Clara must offer her help to the unfortunate Captain Pevsner and attempt to solve the crime before the night is over and all her suspects abandon ship. But who is the murdered man and why would anyone want to kill him? Accompanied by Captain O'Harris, Clara sets off in a race against time to bring a murderer to justice and to prove her worth as a private detective.
