When her remarkable intelligence is discovered by her employer, Maisie becomes the pupil of Maurice Blanche, a learned friend of the Comptons. In 1929, following an apprenticeship with Blanche, Maisie hangs out her shingle: "M. Dobbs, trade and personal investigations." She soon becomes enmeshed in a mystery surrounding The Retreat, a reclusive community of wounded WWI veterans. At first, Maisie only suspects foul play, but she must act quickly when Lady Rowan's son decides to sign away his fortune and take refuge there. Maisie hurriedly investigates, uncovering a disturbing mystery, which, in an astonishing denouement, gives Maisie the courage to confront a ghost that has haunted her for years. 650 0 $a Women private investigators $z London $z London $v Fiction. 650 0 $a World War, 1914-1918 $x Veterans $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd. 651 0 $a London (England) $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 27 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20240801015206.0 952 $l BMPA611 $d 20240418135441.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119013726.0 952 $l GVPC501 $d 20231222012809.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230301010604.0 952 $l BDPB251 $d 20230202010222.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909034851.0 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20220528010106.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215015341.0 952 $l KZPA953 $d 20211020012437.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210427023503.0 952 $l NCPC953 $d 20210302050141.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200602010759.0 952 $l VHPA334 $d 20200512014033.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508021507.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20190824011003.0 952 $l SJPB094 $d 20190122013353.0 952 $l DJPD353 $d 20180717023013.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20180516011757.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20171212021737.0 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20171019014955.0 952 $l TSPC862 $d 20170615014335.0 952 $l TXPC862 $d 20170127013838.0 952 $l HIPC765 $d 20160607011003.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20151223104907.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20150505014950.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20150131010304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6F20608A91611E4881353D2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
