London, 1931. On the night before the opening of his
new and much-anticipated exhibition at a famed Mayfair
gallery, Nicholas Bassington-Hope falls to his death. The
police declare it an accident, but the dead man's twin
sister, Georgina, isn't convinced. When the authorities
refuse to conduct further investigations, Georgina takes
matters into her own hands, seeking out a fellow graduate
from Girton College: Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and
investigator.
The case soon takes Maisie to the desolate beaches of
Dungeness in Kent, as well as the sinister underbelly of the
city's art world. She again uncovers the dark legacy of the
Great War in a society struggling to recollect itself in
difficult times. But to solve the mystery of the artist's
death, she will have to remain steady as the forces behind
his death come out of the shadows to silence her.
