A deathbed plea from his wife leads Sir Cecil Lawton to seek the aid of
Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator. As Maisie soon learns,
Agnes Lawton never accepted that her aviator son was killed in the Great
War, a torment that led her not only to the edge of madness but to the
doors of those who practice the dark arts and commune with the spirit
world. In accepting the assignment, Maisie finds her spiritual strength
tested, as well as her regard for her mentor, Maurice Blanche. The
mission also brings her together once again with her college friend
Priscilla Evernden, who served in France and who lost three brothers to
the war, one of whom, it turns out, had an intriguing connection to the
missing Ralph Lawton.359 pages
