Journey to Munich

Book 12 in the much-loved Maisie Dobbs mystery series

It's early 1938, and Maisie Dobbs is back in England. On a fine yet chilly morning, as she walks towards Fitzroy Square—a place of many memories—she is intercepted by Brian Huntley and Robert MacFarlane of the Secret Service. The German government has agreed to release a British subject from prison, but only if he is handed over to a family member. Because the man's wife is bedridden and his daughter has been killed in an accident, the Secret Service wants Maisie—who bears a striking resemblance to the daughter—to retrieve the man from Dachau, on the outskirts of Munich.

Journey to Munich unfolds as the British government is not alone in its interest in Maisie's travel plans. Her nemesis—the man she holds responsible for her husband's death—has learned of her journey, and is also desperate for her help.

Travelling into the heart of Nazi Germany, Maisie encounters unexpected dangers—and finds herself questioning whether it's time to return to the work she loved. But the Secret Service may have other ideas...
