In August 1923, Clara is called away from a Brighton cricket match to a luxury liner halted off the coast after the death of Alf Matlock. Passengers want to disembark, the crew resist questions and the ship’s captain needs an answer before the inquiry becomes a public scandal.
The dead man’s history leads Clara back to the loss of another vessel many years earlier. Trapped within a closed community of travellers and sailors, she must determine whether an old maritime disaster has provided the motive for a new murder.
