In the third book of this best-selling series, London detective Maisie Dobbs must risk everything to unravel the mystery surrounding a pilot's murder by going back to the location of her worst WWI memories.
Following his wife's request on his deathbed, Sir Cecil Lawton enlists the assistance of psychologist and detective Maisie Dobbs. Agnes Lawton, as Maisie quickly discovers, never came to terms with the fact that her aviator son was killed in the Great War. This agony drove her not only to the brink of insanity but also to the entrance of those who engage in dark arts and communicate with the afterlife.
Maisie's respect for her instructor, Maurice Blanche, and her spiritual strength are put to the test when she accepts the task. Her college friend Priscilla Evernden, who fought in France and lost three brothers in the war, is also reunited with her via the mission; it transpires that one of them had a fascinating relationship with the missing Ralph Lawton.
