Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London
household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady
Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright
youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan's friend, Maurice Blanche,
often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized
Maisie's intuitive gifts and helped her earn admission to the
prestigious Girton College in Cambridge, where Maisie planned to
complete her education.
The outbreak of war changed everything. Maisie trained as a nurse,
then left for France to serve at the Front, where she found--and
lost--an important part of herself. Ten years after the Armistice,
in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private
investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful,
and truth elusive. Her very first case involves suspected
infidelity but reveals something very different.
In the aftermath of the Great War, a former officer has founded a
working farm known as The Retreat, that acts as a convalescent
refuge for ex-soldiers too shattered to resume normal life. When
Fate brings Maisie a second case involving The Retreat, she must
finally confront the ghost that has haunted her for over a decade.
