When jockey Martin Stukely dies after a fall at Cheltenham, glassblower Gerard Logan is unexpectedly pulled into a perilous search for a missing videotape. What begins as a puzzling favor becomes a fight for truth as hostile forces wrongly suspect Logan knows where the tape — and its secret — is hidden.
Logan's world of molten glass and furnace maintenance is rendered in tangible detail: the physical risks of his craft mirror the threats to his business and life. As criminals press him for answers he doesn't have, Logan must unravel motives and danger to protect himself and those he cares about.
