Working with the British Secret Service on an undercover
mission, Maisie Dobbs is sent to Hitler’s Germany in this
thrilling tale of danger and intrigue—the twelfth novel in
Jacqueline Winspear’s New York Times bestselling
“series that seems to get better with each entry” (Wall
Street Journal).
It’s early 1938, and Maisie
Dobbs is back in England. On a fine yet chilly morning, as
she walks towards Fitzroy Square—a place of many
memories—she 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 man’s wife
is bedridden and his daughter has been killed in an
accident, the Secret Service wants Maisie—who bears a
striking resemblance to the daughter—to retrieve the man
from Dachau, on the outskirts of Munich.
The British
government is not alone in its interest in Maisie’s travel
plans. Her nemesis—the man she holds responsible for her
husband’s death—has learned of her journey, and is also
desperate for her help.
Traveling into the heart of
Nazi Germany, Maisie encounters unexpected dangers—and finds
herself questioning whether it’s time to return to the work
she loved. But the Secret Service may have other ideas. . .
