Jack Colby, car detective, is commissioned to buy a 'dream' car from
an earl, but finds himself racing into serious danger.
The once-notorious cabaret singer Adora Ferne guards a private treasure
trove of twelve classic Jaguar cars, but hankers over the one that is
missing. Enter Jack Colby: Adora's manager Danny Carter has commissioned
him to buy the thirteenth dream car from its owner, the Earl of
Storrington.
When a murder follows the earl's rejection of an offer, Jack is
determined to find out whether there is a link between that and the
twelve Jaguars. But the path to the killer divides: does the truth lie
amongst the secrets of Adora's past or much closer to home? Speeding
along the route he's certain will lead to the answer, Jack rushes
headlong into danger.
