In 1950s London racial hostility to Commonweath immigrants is openly paraded. A pregnant girl, initially assumed to be white, is murdered. As two detectives start to investigate, and discover her racial origins were much more mixed, public prejudices and those of the officers themselves are exposed.
On a Sunday, the murdered body of a young redhead Jane Doe is discovered among the brush on Hampstead Heath, it an obvious act of hate as she was stabbed several times in the heart before her body dumped in the heath. Going on a hunch from the minimal evidence on hand, the lead police investigators, Superintendent Bob Hazard and Inspector Phil Learoyd, discover that she is twenty-one year old Sapphire Robbins, a student at the Music Conservatory. What they learn from her student friends, including her obviously grief stricken boyfriend and unofficial fiancé, David Harris, a working class architecture student who was planning soon on going away to school in Rome on scholarship, is that she was a generally well-liked proverbial good girl. As Hazard and Learoyd start to look into Sapphires life, they discover that she was keeping several secrets which may have been factors in her murder, and although the secrets all associated, it is the one that becomes evident upon the arrival of her Birmingham-based physician brother that may be the biggest individual factor. It becomes clear that several people in that known life and that secret life could have had motive, including David and his family, he living with his parents, his father Ted Harris a gilder and sign maker, and his married sister Mildred Farr, her merchant marine husband away at sea. The investigation becomes one highlighting the problem of prejudice that permeates British society in general.
