ONE OF BOOKBUB'S BEST HISTORICAL FICTION BOOKS OF THE FALL From the
author of Sisters of the Resistance comes the story of WWII British
Naval Intelligence officer Victoire Bennett, the real-life
inspiration for the James Bond character Miss Moneypenny, whose
international covert operation is put in jeopardy when a volatile
socialite and Austrian double agent threatens to expose the mission
to German High Command. World War II London: When Victoire
“Paddy” Bennett first walks into the Admiralty’s Room 39,
home to the Intelligence Division, all the bright and lively young
woman expects is a secretarial position to the charismatic
Commander Ian Fleming. But soon her job is so much more, and when
Fleming proposes a daring plot to deceive the Germans about Allied
invasion plans he requests the newlywed Paddy's help. She
jumps at the chance to work as an agent in the field, even after
the operation begins to affect her marriage. But could doing her
duty for King and country come at too great a cost? Socialite
Friedl Stöttinger is a beautiful Austrian double agent determined
to survive in wartime England, which means working for MI-5,
investigating fifth column activity among the British elite at
parties and nightclubs. But Friedl has a secret—some years
before, she agreed to work for German Intelligence and spy on the
British. When her handler at MI-5 proposes that she work with
Serbian agent, Duško Popov, Friedl falls hopelessly in love with
the dashing spy. And when her intelligence work becomes fraught
with danger, she must choose whether to remain loyal to the British
and risk torture and execution by the Nazis, or betray thousands of
men to their deaths. Soon, the lives of these two extraordinarily
brave women will collide, as each travels down a road of deception
and danger leading to one of the greatest battles of World War
II.
