1914. When war in Europe is declared, a young American
cartographer, Michael Clifton, is compelled to fight for his
father's native country, and sets sail for England to serve in the
British Army. Three years later, he is listed as missing in action.
1932. After Michael's remains are unearthed in a French field, his
devastated parents engage London investigator Maisie Dobbs, hoping
she can find the unnamed nurse whose love letters were among their
son's belongings. It is a quest that leads Maisie back to her own
bittersweet wartime love - and to the discovery that Michael
Clifton may not have died in combat. As a web of intrigue and
violence threatens to ensnare the dead soldier's family and even
Maisie herself, she must cope with the impending loss of her mentor
and the unsettling awareness that she is once again falling in
love.
