Maisie Dobbsamp;mdash;"a female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander" (Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air), faces danger and intrigue on the home front during World War II in this poignant entry (#14) in Jacqueline Winspear's New York Times bestselling seriesamp;mdash;"a series that seems to get better with every entry" (Tom Holland, Wall Street Journal).
Spring 1940. With Britons facing what has become known as "the Bore War"amp;mdash;nothing much seems to have happened yetamp;mdash;Maisie Dobbs is asked to investigate the disappearance of a local lad, a young apprentice craftsman working on a "hush-hush" government contract. As Maisie's inquiry reveals a possible link to the London underworld, another mother is worried about a missing sonamp;mdash;but this time the boy in question is one beloved by Maisie.
As USA Today's Robert Bianco says, "with clarity and economy, Winspear lays the historical groundwork. . . . The setting matters, but what may matter more is the lovely, sometimes poetic way Winspear pushes her heroine forward. . . . May she shine on the literary scene for many books to come."
