Posing as a junior lecturer, she is sent to a private college in Cambridge to monitor any activities \"not in the inter-ests of His Majesty's government.\"\nWhen the college's controversial pacifist founder and principal, Greville Liddicote, is murdered, Maisie is directed to stand back as Detective Chief Superintendent Robert MacFarlane and Detective Chief Inspector Richard Stratton spearhead the investigation. She soon discovers, however, that the circumstances of Liddicote's death appear inextricably linked to the suspicious comings and goings of faculty and students under her surveillance.\nTo unravel this web, 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 \"Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei\"—the Nazi Party—in Britain.\nAs the storm clouds of World War II gather on the horizon, this pivotal chapter in the life of Maisie Dobbs foreshadows new challenges and powerful enemies facing the psychologist and investigator—and will engage new readers and loyal fans of this \"outstanding\" series (Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0061727679\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0061727679.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Winspear, Jacqueline\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
