An instant New York Times bestseller, the sixth book in the Maisie Dobbs series has "a plot that seems ripped from the headlines, a sympathetic and intriguing heroine and prose that leaves the reader marveling at Winspear's powers."

The Amy Rennert Agency specializes in books that matter. Amy has spent more than 20 years in the publishing business, pursuing her passion for the written word. The agency represents a select group of quality fiction and nonfiction writers--many of them award-winners--and dozens of agency books have been New York Times and national bestsellers. We provide career management for established and first time authors and our breadth of experience in many genres enables us to meet the needs of a diverse clientele.

The Amy Rennert Agency has developed a reputation since its inception for a passionate commitment to agency writers. We are purposely a small organization to facilitate hands-on personalized service and attention to our authors and their books.

Agency authors include singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett, a #1 New York Times bestselling fiction and non-fiction author, Kris Kristofferson, Patti LuPone, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, and Jacqueline Winspear, author of the New York Times bestselling Maisie Dobbs series.

The agency also represents MacAdam/Cage for paperback reprint.
