Early April 1933. To the costermongers of Covent Garden--sellers
of fruits and vegetables on the London streets--Eddie Pettit was a
gentle soul with a near-magical gift for working with horses. So
who would want to kill him . . . and why?
Maisie Dobbs's father, Frankie, had been a costermonger, and she
remembers Eddie fondly. But it soon becomes clear that powerful
political and financial forces are determined to prevent her from
learning the truth behind Eddie's death. Maisie's search for
answers on the working-class streets of Lambeth leads her to
unexpected places and people: to a callous press baron; to a has
been politician named Winston Churchill; and, most surprisingly, to
Douglas Partridge, the husband of her dearest friend, Priscilla. As
Maisie uncovers lies and manipulation on a national scale, she must
decide whether to risk everything to see justice done.
