It is now the early Spring of 1930. Detective Inspector Stratton of Scotland Yard is a investigating a murder case in Coulsdon, while Maisie Dobbs has been summoned to Dulwich to find a runaway heiress. The woman is the daughter of Joseph Waite, a wealthy self-made man who has lavished her with privilege but kept her in a gilded cage. His domineering ways have driven her off before, and now she's bolted again. Waite's instructions are to find his daughter and bring her home. When Maisie looks into the disappearance she's finds a chilling link to Stratton's murder case, and to the terrible legacy of The Great War.
