Summary

Journey to Munich is the twelfth novel in Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs series. Set in 1938, the novel tells the story of private agent Maisie Dobbs’s dangerous mission to Munich to recover a British citizen who has been imprisoned by Hitler’s Third Reich.

Maisie has just returned to London from Spain, where she served as a nurse in the Spanish Civil War. There she tended to the wounded, losing herself in service in the wake of her husband James’s death in an airplane crash. Now Maisie must begin her life again.

On a walk around Fitzroy Square, Maisie is approached by British Secret Service agents Robert MacFarlane and Brian Huntley, who have a new mission for her. They explain that Leon Donat, an engineer, inventor, and businessman, is being held at Dachau, a prison camp near Munich. Allegedly Donat gave money to a young journalist, Ulli Bader, to help fund his underground newspaper, Voice of Freedom. The German authorities have agreed to release Donat but only to a family member. Because Donat’s wife is dead and his daughter is sick, MacFarlane and Huntley want Maisie to travel disguised as Donat’s daughter, Edwina, and bring him home. Donat is important to the British government, Maisie learns, because he has designed a special seaworthy landing craft that could prove useful during wartime.
