Late September, 1942. Jo Hardy, a 22-year-old ferry pilot, is delivering a Spitfire to Biggin Hill Aerodrome when she finds an American serviceman tied up and gagged. Jo takes her suspicions to Maisie Dobbs, along with two pages of coded notes she found in the barn - papers pertaining to an upcoming diplomatic mission by Eleanor Roosevelt. To protect Eleanor's life - and possibly the safety of all of London - Maisie must quickly uncover the connection between a pilot deaths, the mysterious American soldier, and the top-secret documents.
