In July of 1923, Daisy Dalrymple travels to Henley-on-Thames to work on her latest writing assignment: covering the Henley Royal Regatta for an American magazine. Daisy plans a simple trip enjoying the races and having a pleasant time with her fianc, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard. But the tensions between the Ambrose team's coxswain, Horace Bott, and rower Basil DeLancey are constantly threatening to erupt into violence. When DeLancey keels over and dies during one of the races, foul play is immediately suspected, with Bott the logical suspect. But nothing is obvious in this tangled web of jealousies and secrets.
