The Consequences of Fear (Maisie Dobbs Series, Book #16) by Jacqueline Winspear
While on a delivery, young Freddie Hackett, a message runner for a government office, witnesses an argument that ends in murder. Crouching in the doorway of a bombed-out house, Freddie waits until the coast is clear. But when he arrives at the delivery address, he's shocked to come face-to-face with the killer.
Dismissed by the police when he attempts to report the crime, Freddie goes in search of a woman he once met when delivering a message: Maisie Dobbs. While Maisie believes the boy and wants to help, she must maintain extreme caution: she's secretly working for the Special Operations Executive, assessing candidates for crucial work with the French Resistance. Her two worlds collide when she spots the suspected killer in a place she least expects.
