Jacqueline Winspear is the creator of the New York Times and National Bestselling series featuring psychologist and investigator, Maisie Dobbs.

Her 'standalone' novel set in WW1, The Care and Management of Lies, was a finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize in 2015.
Christmas Eve, 1931. On the way to see a client, Maisie Dobbs witnesses a man commit suicide on a busy London street. The following day, the Home Secretary receives a letter threatening a massive loss of life if certain demands are not met. Maisie is invited into Scotland Yard's elite Special Branch as a special adviser on the case - and becomes involved in a race against time to find a man who soon proves he has the knowledge, and will, to murder thousands of innocent people. Before this harrowing case is over, Maisie must negotiate her way through a darkness not encountered since she was a nurse in wards filled with shell-shocked men.
'Absorbing and exciting . . . what charms most is Dobbs herself'
Wall Street Journal
Maisie Dobbs kehrt zurück, mit ihrem bisher packendsten Fall. Es ist Heiligabend 1931, als Maisie sieht, wie ein Mann auf den vollen Straßen Londons Selbstmord begeht. Am nächsten Tag erhält der Innenminister einen Brief, in dem der Schreiber mit hohen Opferzahlen droht, falls bestimmte Bedingungen nicht erfüllt werden. Maisie wird als Sonderberaterin der Scotland Yards Elite-Truppe hinzu geholt. Ab jetzt zählt jede Sekunde, um den Mann zu finden, der kurze Zeit später zeigen wird, das er die Möglichkeit hat, Tausende von unschuldigen Menschen zu töten ...
Maisie Dobbs returns with her most gripping case yet
