It's 1931 and Maisie is asked by Georgina Bassington Hope to investigate the death of her twin brother, Nick.
The police have ruled the death an accident, but Georgina is convinced he was murdered.
As Maisie investigates, she has to delve into London's art world, and the strange but wonderful environment of Georgina's family as well as smuggling.
Still struggling after her breakdown and away from Maurice, Maisie is fragile. And Billy and his family face a tragedy of their own.
Once again an insightful book, giving great insight into England between the wars.

"I've come to the conclusion that liking a person we are required to have dealings with is not of paramount importance. But respect is crucial, on both sides, as is tolerance, and a depth of understanding of those influences that sculpt a character."
