Yorkshire, 1930. Private investigator Kate Shackleton is called in by William Lofthouse to look into irregularities at Barleycorn Brewery. Several things don't add up; and when the one employee who may know what's really going on meets with a fatal accident, the investigation intensifies. Later, at the garden party celebrating the success of Ruth Parnaby, newly crowned Yorkshire Brewery Queen, a horde of children wait impatiently for a pony ride. Kate goes in search of Joe Finch and his Shetland Billy Boy - and finds herself staring at a dead body. With the discovery of financial discrepancies, family secrets, and the lure of national success for Ruth, motives for murder abound. Sometimes a threat comes from the most unexpected quarter, and it's up to Kate to fathom the mystery.
