✦ Synopsis


It is June, London basks in the sun, Londoners and visitors look forward to the great sporting events of the summer. But each presents Scotland Yard with its own particular challenge.
The Derby β€” will there be an attempt to β€˜fix’ the greatest race of the year?
Lords β€” will the appearance of the South African team trigger off political demonstrations?
Wimbledon β€” will something happen to prevent a young American negro from battling through to the top?

Headaches for Commander George Gideon, problems that he must cope with. And what of his own private problems: Has he been too much of a cop and not enough of a husband and father? And has he walked too long beside a crooked path to trust a granger’s smile?
