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 man's world. Her brother Jago worries about Tilly, especially because of her fascination for Eddie Chapman, the owner of the Blue Pelican Club. A charismatic man of dubious character, Eddie is very interested in the young redheaded Tilly, who dances so well. Tilly's 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.

Work Description
Tilly Thompson is desperate for some adventure. She would love to travel round the world like her friend David Strickland, but for now she must find her thrills a bit closer to home. Then, when Tilly hears about a new club that's opened in Southampton, it's not long before she's kicking up her heels to the charleston. Tilly quickly attracts the attention of the club's handsome owner Eddie Chapman, and because she's having the time of her life she ignores all advice from friends against Eddie Chapman. But her life is about to change drastically after she stumbles across a trail of violence and crime, and everything seems to point in the direction of Eddie Chapman...
