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. . . .
