This is the introductory book to the popular Maisie Dobbs series about a young woman private investigator in England. After being mentored by her former employer, sent to college, and then becoming a nurse at the front during the horrendous battles of World War I. After the war she starts her own private detective agency. Her first case leads her to another mystery, one involving veterans of the war who are physically and/or mentally maimed by their experiences and the strange "Retreat" supposed to be helping them. Just enough information is given about Maisie's and her story to make a perfect lead in to the later books.
