Description

In 1931 London, psychologist and investigator Maisie Dobbs is drawn into the mysterious death of controversial artist and World War I veteran Nick Bassington-Hope, who falls from a Mayfair gallery on the eve of his major exhibition. As Maisie probes the worlds of fine art, wartime memory, and elite society, she uncovers secrets that challenge the appearance of a simple accident. Blending atmospheric historical detail with psychological insight and a compelling mystery, the novel explores grief, trauma, truth, and the enduring legacy of the Great War.
