A Lesson in Secrets

Private investigator Maisie Dobbs goes undercover as a junior lecturer at a private college in Cambridge in A Lesson in Secrets. Her mission: to monitor any activities "not in the interests of His Majesty's government." But when the college's pacifist founder is murdered, Maisie is pulled into a dark underworld of conspiracy and murder, involving members of the Nazi Party on British soil. Fans of Agatha Christie and Elizabeth George will love this instant classic from Jacqueline Winspear, hailed as "a powerful and complex novel" by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
