Maisie Dobbs: psychologist, investigator, and quotone of the
great fictional heroines, equal parts haunted and hauntingquot
(Parade) returns in a chilling adventure, the latest chapter in
Jacqueline Winspear's best-selling series. Early April 1933: To
the costermongers of Covent Garden - sellers of fruit and
vegetables on the streets of London - Eddie Pettit was a gentle
soul with a near-magical gift for working with horses. When
Eddie is killed in a violent accident, the grieving costers are
deeply skeptical about the cause of his death. Who would want
to kill Eddie - and why? Maisie Dobbs' father, Frankie, had
been a costermonger, so she had known the men since
childhood. She remembers Eddie fondly and is determined to
offer her help. But it soon becomes clear that powerful political
and financial forces are equally determined to prevent her from
learning the truth behind Eddie's death. Plunging into the
investigation, Maisie begins her search for answers on the
working-class streets of Lambeth where Eddie had lived and

where she had grown up. The inquiry quickly leads her to a
callous press baron a has-been politician named Winston
Churchill, lingering in the hinterlands of power and, most
surprisingly, to Douglas Partridge, the husband of her dearest
friend, Priscilla. As Maisie uncovers lies and manipulation on a
national scale, she must decide whether to risk it all to see
justice done. The story of a London affected by the march to
another war years before the first shot is fired and of an
innocent victim caught in the crossfire, Elegy for Eddie is
Jacqueline Winspear's most poignant and powerful novel yet.
