‘WRY AND IMMENSELY READABLE’ DAILY MAIL
Spring, 1940. With Britons facing what has become
known as the Bore War — nothing much seems to have happened yet — Maisie Dobbs is asked to investigate the disappearance of a local lad, a young apprentice craftsman working on a hush-hush government contract.
As Maisie’s inquiry reveals a potential link to the London underworld, the country is bracing for a possible enemy invasion amid news of the British expeditionary force stranded along the French coast. And another mother is worried about a missing son — but this time the boy in question is one beloved by Maisie.
