Bubbles Stabler is dead. The only public acknowledgement her passing has caused is a measly couple of paragraphs in the Guardian. Her husband Vincent isn't surprised. Once they'd enjoyed their days of glory, when they had mixed with the nation's movers and shakers - and done a bit of moving and shaking themselves. But that all ended long ago, and as he waits to cremate his wife, Vincent spends his time in the company of the ghosts of his past and present - a cherished son, an unloved lover, a criminal brother, a betrayed friend - trying to trace the rise and fall of the phenomenon called Bubbles.
His search keeps taking him further back in time. Finally he reaches the dawn of the 1970s. Then Vincent was poised on the first rungs of a brilliant academic career. At the same time older brother Russell was toiling at the humdrum life of a small-time South London crook, no threat at all to Vincent's supremacy inside the Stabler family. As for Bubbles - she hadn't even invented herself yet.
But everything was about to change.
