Working with the British Secret Service on an undercover mission, Maisie Dobbs is sent to Hitlerโs Germany in this thrilling tale of danger and intrigueโthe twelfth novel in Jacqueline Winspearโs New York Times bestselling โseries that seems to get better with each entryโ (Wall Street Journal).
Itโs early 1938, and Maisie Dobbs is back in England. On a fine yet chilly morning, as she walks towards Fitzroy Squareโa place of many memoriesโshe is intercepted by Brian Huntley and Robert MacFarlane of the Secret Service. The German government has agreed to release a British subject from prison, but only if he is handed over to a family member. Because the manโs wife is bedridden and his daughter has been killed in an accident, the Secret Service wants Maisieโwho bears a striking resemblance to the daughterโto retrieve the man from Dachau, on the outskirts of Munich.
The British government is not alone in its interest in Maisieโs travel plans. Her nemesisโthe man she holds responsible for her husbandโs deathโhas learned of her journey, and is also desperate for her help.
Traveling into the heart of Nazi Germany, Maisie encounters unexpected dangersโand finds herself questioning whether itโs time to return to the work she loved. But the Secret Service may have other ideas. . . .
