Instant New York Times and National Bestseller, Now in Paperback
The White Lady introduces yet another extraordinary heroine from
Jacqueline Winspear, creator of the best-selling Maisie Dobbs
series. This heart-stopping novel, set in Post WWII Britain in
1947, follows the coming of age and maturity of former wartime
operative Elinor White--veteran of two wars, trained killer,
protective of her anonymity--when she is drawn back into the world
of menace she has been desperate to leave behind. A reluctant
ex-spy with demons of her own, Elinor finds herself facing down one
of the most dangerous organized crime gangs in London, ultimately
exposing corruption from Scotland Yard to the highest levels of
government. The private, quiet "Miss White" as Elinor is known,
lives in a village in rural Kent, England, and to her fellow
villagers seems something of an enigma. Well she might, as Elinor
occupies a "grace and favor" property, a rare privilege offered to
faithful servants of the Crown for services to the nation. But the
residents of Shacklehurst have no way of knowing how dangerous
Elinor's war work had been, or that their mysterious neighbor is
haunted by her past. It will take Susie, the child of a young
farmworker, Jim Mackie and his wife, Rose, to break through Miss
White's icy demeanor--but Jim has something in common with Elinor.
He, too, is desperate to escape his past. When the powerful Mackie
crime family demands a return of their prodigal son for an
important job, Elinor assumes the task of protecting her neighbors,
especially the bright-eyed Susie. Yet in her quest to uncover the
truth behind the family's pursuit of Jim, Elinor unwittingly sets
out on a treacherous path--yet it is one that leads to her freedom.
