New York: Harper Collins, (2023) dj. Hardcover first edition - A stand-alone novel by the author of the Maisie Dobbs series. Set in post-World War II England, in 1947, where Elinor White, known locally as 'the White lady', is living a solitary, quiet life in a cottage in the Kent countryside, trying to put her experiences in two world wars behind her, until she is drawn into helping a local man who is the son and grandson of the most dangerous crime families in London. Cover praise from Lee Child and Louise Penny who said "Winspear creates in Elinor White, a complex, endearing, achingly flawed hero. This is both fast-paced and thoughtful, bold and nuanced, a thriller that is thrillingly human." 318 pp. ISBN: 978-0062867988.
