Pardonable Lies sees her asked to prove that a fallen aviator truly died in the Great War, testing memory, class and truth. Messenger of Truth draws her into the suspicious death of a controversial war-veteran artist on the eve of his exhibition. An Incomplete Revenge takes her to the Kent Weald, where a pattern of arson and theft hides a darker village history. Finally, Among the Mad plunges Maisie into a race against time after witnessing a public suicide and uncovering a threat to the government.
