Elegy for Eddie

Description

In April 1933, private investigator Maisie Dobbs is drawn into the mysterious death of Eddie Pettit, a beloved Covent Garden costermonger whose supposed accident leaves his community convinced that justice has been denied. As Maisie investigates, she uncovers tensions reaching far beyond the market—into class divisions, political unrest, and a London increasingly shaped by the looming threat of another war. Jacqueline Winspear’s atmospheric historical mystery explores loyalty, grief, social change, and the human cost of forces gathering in the shadows.
