London, 1931. On the night before the opening of his new and much-anticipated exhibition at a famed Mayfair gallery, Nicholas Bassington-Hope falls to his death. The police declare it an accident, but his twin sister, Georgina, isn't convinced. When the authorities refuse to conduct further investigations and close the case, Georgina -- a journalist and infamous figure in her own right -- takes matters into her own hands, seeking out a fellow graduate from Girton College: Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator.
The case soon takes Maisie to the desolate beaches of Dungeness in Kent, as well as the sinister underbelly of the city's art world. And while navigating her way into the heart of the aristocratic yet bohemian Bassington-Hopes, Maisie is deeply troubled by the tragedy of another, quite different family in need.

In this the fourth book of the series, Maisie Dobbs, psychologist and investigator, takes on the case of an artist who has fallen to his death. The police have dismissed it as an accident, but Maisie has a hunch that there is more to the death. In the course of her investigation, she finds that there is indeed much much more. As the range of her investigation grows, Maisie encounters secretive and possibly dangerous organizations. Little is truly as it seems. And as always in this series, WW1 continues to cast its dark shadow.
