About this listen

Who expects to find a corpse in a fairground? Certainly not Clara Fitzgerald, Brighton's first female private detective, who is enjoying some time off when a new case falls straight into her lap.

Just exactly whose corpse is sitting propped up in the House of Curios, and why would anyone leave a body on view for everyone to see? Clara has a whole carnival of suspects and very few clues, but the ones she does have suggest she needs to look towards Brighton's seedy underworld for answers, and that may well mean putting her life in danger.

Meanwhile Tommy Fitzgerald has his own case to investigate when a distraught mother asks him to find her missing son—the only problem being that the family is German and the son was interned during the war. Where did he go when he was released, and why did he never come home? Tommy has to overcome his own prejudices to unravel this mystery.

Can Clara and Tommy both find solutions to their mysteries before the fair rolls out of town, taking with it a potential murderer?
