Description

Maisie Dobbs—psychologist, detective, and "among the great fictional heroines, equivalent components haunted and haunting" (March)—returns in a relaxing journey, the most recent phase in Jacqueline Winspear's best-selling collection. Early April 1933. Towards the costermongers of Covent Garden—sellers of vegetables and fruit to the roads of London—Eddie Pettit was a gentle spirit with a near-wonderful reward for working with horses. The grieving costers are profoundly suspicious concerning the reason for his demise, when Eddie is murdered in a severe incident.
