The British Secret Service enlist Maisie's unique talents in this installment sending her to teach at a college that stresses pacifism. Before she is even settled in the head of the college is found dead Maisie is forced to walk a tight line between assignment for the Secret Service and the murder investigation.
Maisie is also juggling her relationships with her assistant Billy (trying to get him to accept help for his young family), Sandra (a former servant for the Comptons who has been widowed my murder), and her own relationship with James Compton. The interactions are cleverly woven throughout the story.
