The American Agent by Jacqueline Winspear is the 15th book in the Maisie Dobbs series. In the early weeks of the Second World War, Maisie must investigate a politically sensitive murder while volunteering as an ambulance driver during the London Blitz along with her good friend Priscilla Partridge. At the same time she is anxiously waiting the hearing that will determine whether she is allowed to adopt the orphaned Anna, a traumatized young evacuee who has lost all of her own family. As part of the murder investigation, Maisie must work with an agent of the Department of Justice on special assignment undercover at the American Embassy in London, Mark Scott. Maisie has met Scott before, when she rescued a British national from Nazi Germany. Maisie is ambivalent about Scott and unsure whether he feels anything in return or is just using her to get his job done. Another fine historical mystery from Winspear.
