书籍简介
《白人女士》介绍了杰奎琳-温斯皮尔的又一位非凡的女英雄，她是畅销的梅西-多布斯系列的创造者。这部惊心动魄的小说以1947年二战后的英国为背景，讲述了前战时特工埃莉诺-怀特--两次战争的老兵、训练有素的杀手、保护自己的匿名性--当她被卷入她一直急于离开的威胁世界时，她的年龄和成熟度。
作为一个不情愿的前间谍，埃莉诺发现自己面对的是伦敦危险的有组织犯罪团伙之一，然后揭露了从苏格兰场到政府高层的腐败。
私下里安静的 "白小姐"（Elinor）被称为 "白人女士"，她住在英国肯特郡农村的一个村庄里，对她的村民来说，她似乎是个谜一样的人。她可能是这样的，因为埃莉诺拥有 "恩惠 "的财产，这是一种罕见的特权，提供给为国家服务的忠实的王室仆人。但沙克尔赫斯特的居民无法知道埃莉诺的战争工作有多危险，也无法知道他们的神秘邻居被她的过去所困扰。
苏西，一个年轻的农场工人的孩子，吉姆-麦基和他的妻子罗斯，需要突破白人女士的冰冷态度--但吉姆与埃莉诺有共同之处。他也急切地想摆脱自己的过去。当强大的Mackie犯罪家族要求他们的浪子为一项重要工作回来时，Elinor承担了保护她的邻居的任务，特别是眼睛明亮的Susie。然而，在揭开这个家族追捕吉姆背后的真相的过程中，埃莉诺不知不觉地踏上了一条险恶的道路--然而，这条道路却通向她的自由。
The White Lady introduces yet another extraordinary heroine from Jacqueline Winspear, creator of the best-selling Maisie Dobbs series. This heart-stopping novel, set in Post WWII Britain in 1947, follows the coming of age and maturity of former wartime operative Elinor White--veteran of two wars, trained killer, protective of her anonymity--when she is drawn back into the world of menace she has been desperate to leave behind.
A reluctant ex-spy with demons of her own, Elinor finds herself facing down one of the most dangerous organized crime gangs in London, ultimately exposing corruption from Scotland Yard to the highest levels of government.
The private, quiet "Miss White" as Elinor is known, lives in a village in rural Kent, England, and to her fellow villagers seems something of an enigma. Well she might, as Elinor occupies a "grace and favor" property, a rare privilege offered to faithful servants of the Crown for services to the nation. But the residents of Shacklehurst have no way of knowing how dangerous Elinor's war work had been, or that their mysterious neighbor is haunted by her past.
It will take Susie, the child of a young farmworker, Jim Mackie and his wife, Rose, to break through Miss White's icy demeanor--but Jim has something in common with Elinor. He, too, is desperate to escape his past. When the powerful Mackie crime family demands a return of their prodigal son for an important job, Elinor assumes the task of protecting her neighbors, especially the bright-eyed Susie. Yet in her quest to uncover the truth behind the family's pursuit of Jim, Elinor unwittingly sets out on a treacherous path--yet it is one that leads to her freedom.
