Description
On Christmas Eve 1931, psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs witnesses a shocking suicide in the heart of London, only to be drawn into a far more dangerous case the next day. Recruited by New Scotland Yard’s secretive Special Branch, Maisie and her trusted associate, Billy Beale, must uncover who is threatening the Prime Minister before the menace escalates. Her investigation leads through a Britain fractured by economic hardship, the rise of fascism, militant labor unrest, and the lingering psychological wounds of World War I. Combining historical suspense with a nuanced portrait of a society under pressure, the novel explores courage, trauma, political extremism, and the difficult search for justice in an unsettled age.
