About
In old age Edwin James looks back over his scandalous life in law and the theatre: he recalls his rise to fame and fortune which begins as a debt-ridden counsel in case arising from the Running Rein scandal of the 1844 Derby. He begins his hunt for the missing witness and the Derby winner which has been spirited away. Aided by ex-convict Ben Gully, he probes in the dark belly of the London underworld while at the same time trying to avoid his creditors.
