Fiction.

Posing as a junior lecturer, she is sent to a college in Cambridge to monitor any activities ?not in the interests of the Crown?. When the college?s controversial pacifist founder and principal, Greville Liddicote, is murdered, Maisie is directed to stand back as Detective Chief Superintendent Robert MacFarlane and Detective Chief Inspector Richard Stratton spearhead the investigation. She soon discovers, however, that the circumstances of Liddicote?s death appear inextricably linked to the suspicious comings and goings of faculty and students under her surveillance. As the storm clouds of World War II gather on the horizon, Maisie must overcome a reluctant Secret Service, discover shameful hidden truths about Britain?s conduct during the Great War, and face off against the rising powers of the Nazi Party.
