Maisie Dobbs is contacted by an Indian man who has come to England in hopes of finding the killer of his sister. Scotland Yard failed to make an arrest or conduct a thorough investigation, making it harder for Dobbs to investigate. Meanwhile, unfinished business from a previous case becomes a distraction, as does a new development in Maisie's personal life. Bringing a crucial chapter in the life and times of Maisie Dobbs to a close, Leaving Everything Most Loved marks a pivotal moment in this outstanding mystery series.

Born and raised in England, Jacqueline Winspear emigrated to the U.S. in 1990. Leaving Everything Most Loved is the tenth in the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning, New York Times bestselling Maisie Dobbs mystery series. Maisie is a psychologist and a private investigator, running her own firm which, given the setting of these novels, is unusual in the profession but not in a woman going it alone. All of the Maisie Dobbs novels are set in the late 1920s and early 1930s, with each story firmly rooted in the Great War, from 1914-1918, when the paucity of men compelled women to strike out on their own. In her latest adventure, the time is 1933 and Maisie finds herself investigating the death of an Indian woman found floating in a south London canal, but with each new discovery, there is more death, and danger for Maisie that is hard to ignore. Jackie lives in San Francisco.
