Book description
April, 1933. To the costermongers of London, Eddie Pettit is simply
a gentle soul with a near-magical gift for working with horses. When
he is killed in a violent accident, the costers are sceptical about
the cause of his death, and recruit Maisie Dobbs to investigate.
Maisie, who has known these men since childhood and remembers Eddie
fondly, is eager to help.
But it soon becomes clear that powerful political and financial
forces are equally determined to prevent her from learning too much
about Eddie's death. As Maisie uncovers lies and manipulation on a
national scale, she must decide whether to risk all to see justice done.
