Something is very wrong in Minterville. The reclusive and mistrustful people of Minterville have been living in a state of anxiety for the past six months, since the arrival of two unknown and suspicious families. Meanwhile, the magic of The Minter, the town's most prized and treasured possession, has slowly begun to fade away until nothing remained of it.

Mayor Tom Watson and Police Chief Andy Thompson are desperate to figure out the reason for the families' sudden move to Minterville, as everyone agrees that the families are there for sinister motives. They discover they are right one Friday morning. The families have been sent by Manuela Escribano ("The Ice Queen") to settle a decades-old score with one of Minterville's residents. The powerful and vindictive Ice Queen, with the help of the families, has already set a diabolical plan in motion in order to inflict as much harm on Minterville as possible. Tom, Chief Andy, and the rest of Minterville must band together and act quickly before innocent people die and their beloved community (and along with it, The Minter) is destroyed forever.

Maisie Dobbs got her start as a maid in an aristocratic London household when she was thirteen. Her employer, suffragette Lady Rowan Compton, soon became her patron, taking the remarkably bright youngster under her wing. Lady Rowan's friend, Maurice Blanche, often retained as an investigator by the European elite, recognized Maisie's intuitive gifts and helped her earn admission to the prestigious Girton College in Cambridge, where Maisie planned to complete her education.

The outbreak of war changed everything. Maisie trained as a nurse, then left for France to serve at the Front, where she found — and lost — an important part of herself. Ten years after the Armistice, in the spring of 1929, Maisie sets out on her own as a private investigator, one who has learned that coincidences are meaningful, and truth elusive. Her very first case involves suspected infidelity but reveals something very different.

In the aftermath of the Great War, a former officer has founded a working farm known as The Retreat, that acts as a convalescent refuge for ex-soldiers too shattered to resume normal life. When Fate brings Maisie a second case involving The Retreat, she must finally confront the ghost that has haunted her for over a decade.

Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover two federal agents who went missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feels … off.

As the days pass, Ethan's investigation into the disappearance of his colleagues turns up more questions than answers. Why can't he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn't anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out?

Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the world he thought he knew, from the man he thought he was, until he must face a horrifying fact — he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.
