Fiction

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 . . .
