Maria Isabella Boyd's success as a Confederate spy has made her too famous for further espionage work, and now her employment options are slim. Exiled, widowed, and on the brink of poverty, she reluctantly goes to work for the Pinkerton National Detective Agency in Chicago. Adding insult to injury, her first big assignment is commissioned by the Union Army. In short, a federally sponsored transport dirigible is being violently pursued across the Rockies, and Uncle Sam isn't pleased.

In 1909, Clementine steps off a train with her new husband, Winston. An angry woman emerges from the crowd to attack, shoving him in the direction of an oncoming train. Just before he stumbles, Clementine grabs him by his suit jacket. This will not be the last time Clementine Churchill will save her husband. Lady Clementine is the ferocious story of the ambitious woman beside Winston Churchill, the story of a partner who did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and who would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies.

„Clementine Holm“ ist eine Novelle von Gabriele Reuter: Frau Clementine Holm wohnte in einem Hause, dessen rechte Seite das Freskogemälde eines Drachens mit blauem Kopf und gelbem Schweif zeigte, während sich links von der Eingangstür drei Mandarinenbäume und eine große Sonne mit einem Menschengesicht befanden. Frau Clementine war begeistert von diesen primitiven Malereien und hatte das Haus nur um ihretwillen gewählt, trotzdem seine Lage im Levantiner Viertel unbequem war und auch nicht für comme il faut galt.
