From the back cover: In the summer of 1932, Maisie Dobbs' career takes an exciting new turn when she accepts an undercover assignment directed by Scotland Yard's Special Branch and the Secret Service. Posing as a junior lecturer, she is sent to a college in Cambridge to monitor any activities 'not in the interests of the Crown'. When the college's controversial pacifist founder and principal, Greville Liddicote, is murdered, Maisie soon discovers that the circumstances of his death appear inextricably linked to the suspicious comings and goings of faculty and students. As the storm clouds of World War II gather on the horizon, Maisie must overcome a reluctant Secret Service, discover shameful hidden truths about Britain's conduct during the Great War, and face off against the rising powers of the Nazi Party.

Happy reading!
