Maisie Dobbs Collector's Edition
Maisie Dobbs Collector's Edition
The bestselling crime classic that launched the iconic Maisie Dobbs series, reissued in this gorgeous twentieth-anniversary collector's edition to celebrate the conclusion of that series with The Comfort of Ghosts "A female investigator every bit as brainy and battle-hardened as Lisbeth Salander."
--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air, on Maisie Dobbs Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan's friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie's intuitive gifts and helped her earn admission to the prestigious Girton College in Cambridge, where Maisie planned to complete her education. The outbreak of war changed everything. Maisie trained as a nurse, then left for France to serve at the Front, where she found--and lost--an important part of herself. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive. Her very first case involves suspected infidelity but reveals something very different. In the aftermath of the Great War, a former officer has founded a working farm known as The Retreat, that acts as a convalescent refuge for ex-soldiers too shattered to resume normal life. When Fate brings Maisie a second case involving The Retreat, she must finally confront the ghost that has haunted her for over a decade. This Collector's Edition hardcover features an elegant paper-over-board with copper foil cover, matching printed endpapers, and also an afterword from the author.
