Beloved heroine Maisie Dobbs, “one of the great fictional
heroines” (Parade), investigates the mysterious
murder of an American war correspondent in London during the
Blitz in a page-turning tale of love and war, terror and
survival.
When Catherine Saxon, an American correspondent reporting on
the war in Europe, is found murdered in her London digs,
news of her death is concealed by British authorities.
Serving as a linchpin between Scotland Yard and the Secret
Service, Robert MacFarlane pays a visit to Maisie Dobbs,
seeking her help. He is accompanied by an agent from the US
Department of Justice—Mark Scott, the American who helped
Maisie escape Hitler’s Munich in 1938. MacFarlane asks
Maisie to work with Scott to uncover the truth about Saxon’s
death.
As the Germans unleash the full terror of their blitzkrieg
upon the British Isles, raining death and destruction from
the skies, Maisie must balance the demands of solving this
dangerous case with her need to protect Anna, the young
evacuee she has grown to love and wants to adopt. Entangled
in an investigation linked to the power of wartime
propaganda and American political intrigue being played out
in Britain, Maisie will face losing her dearest friend—and
the possibility that she might be falling in love again.
