He has inherited his father’s top-class yard, his brilliant two-year-old has just won the Coventry Stakes and he is soon to marry his beautiful half-Brazilian girlfriend.

On their way back from the races, two rough-looking young men pass lewd comments about Mariana. There’s not much of a brawl – it’s over too quickly and is hardly even-handed – but it leaves Mariana in a sea of blood tending to Simon’s wounded face and Geoff lies dead on the floor. It’s a tragedy, of course, but Mariana can’t help but feel relieved. Her secret is safe, for now…
