Tilly Thompson, at nineteen, dreams of adventure and excitement. How she longs to travel the world like David Strickland, her friend, an engineer officer on the Aquitania. But the 1920s is very much a manβs world. Her brother Jago worries about Tilly, especially because of her fascination for Eddie Chapman, the owner of the Blue Pelican Club.

Tillyβs innocent world becomes a dark and dangerous place as her wildness leads her into the shady world of horse racing, the criminal element of Southampton and, finally, grave danger
