October 1942. Jo Hardy, an Air Transport Auxilliary ferry pilot, is
delivering a Spitfire to Biggin Hill Aerodrome, when she has the
terrifying experience of coming under fire from the ground. In a
bid to find out who was trying to take down her aircraft, she
returns on foot to the area, and discovers an African American
soldier bound and gagged in an old barn. A few days later another
ferry pilot crashes and is killed in the same area of Kent.
Although the death has been attributed to 'pilot error' Jo believes
there is a connection between all three events - and she wants
desperately to help the soldier, who is now in the custody of
American military police. Jo is advised to take her suspicions to
Maisie Dobbs. As the psychologist-investigator delves into the
case, she discovers the attempt to take down ferry pilots and the
plight of the black American soldier are inextricably linked with
the visit to Britain by the First Lady of the United States,
Eleanor Roosevelt. Maisie must work with speed to uncover the depth
of connection, to save the life of the president's wife and a
soldier caught in the crosshairs of those who would see them both
dead.
