Winter has its clutches on Brighton and the pantomime has come to town. Clara Fitzgerald, Brighton's first female private detective, is looking forward to an evening of entertainment watching the Stratford Company performing Aladdin. But when Mr Maddock, the company director, hurriedly seeks her out after the show, she knows something is amiss.

One of the actors has been murdered and his corpse thrust in a laundry basket. There seems no motive for the crime and no suspects. Maddock is desperate for Clara to solve the riddle before the crime can affect his pantomime. But that is not the only concern on Clara's mind. A familiar face is back in town and causing Clara to be dragged into the very gang trouble that Inspector Park-Coombs told her to keep out of.
