One woman's war: a novel of the real Miss Moneypenny
(Book)
Description
"World War II London: Victoire "Paddy' Bennett walks into the Admiralty's Room 39, home to the Naval Intelligence Division, expecting nothing more than 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. But could doing her duty for king and country come at too great a cost? Socialite Friedl Stöttinger is a beautiful Austrian agent working for the British intelligence service., But Friedl has a secret--some years before, she agreed to work for the Germans and spy on the British. As a double agent, Friedl faces danger from all sides, and a new mission for Britain that could lead to torture and death at the hands of the Nazis. 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."--Page 4 of cover.
