This absorbing Victorian mystery is peopled by a host of striking characters all seeking their fortune or wrestling with ruin during a topsy-turvy time of change. It moves between the misty Lincolnshire wolds, unsavoury London courts, rakish gents' clubs and affluent Belgravia. What links these disparate worlds is Derby Day and the expectations riding on the champion horse, Tiberius. Tension builds as the horses gallop towards the finishing line.
