365 pages ; 24 cm. "When Catherine Saxon, an American correspondent reporting on the war in Europe, is found murdered in her London digs, news of her death is concealed by British authorities. Serving as a linchpin between Scotland Yard and the Secret Service, Robert MacFarlane pays a visit to Maisie Dobbs, seeking her help. He is accompanied by an agent from the US Department of Justice—Mark Scott, the American who helped Maisie escape Hitler’s Munich in 1938. MacFarlane asks Maisie to work with Scott to uncover the truth about Saxon’s death. As the Germans unleash the full terror of their blitzkrieg upon the British Isles, raining death and destruction from the skies, Maisie must balance the demands of solving this dangerous case with her need to protect Anna, the young evacuee she has grown to love and wants to adopt. Entangled in an investigation linked to the power of wartime propaganda and American political intrigue being played out in Britain, Maisie will face losing her dearest friend—and the possibility that she might be falling in love again."-- Jacqueline Winspear. e-uk-en (Fictitious character) Dobbs, Maisie Fiction World War, 1939-1945 Fiction Murder Investigation Fiction Journalists Crimes against Fiction PR6123.I575 A44 2019 823/.92 Winspear, Jacqueline 1955- 9780062436665 006243666X 9780062888037 006288803X 2018045423 DLC 181005 20190502003024.0 7097902 eng
