During World War II, suburban New Yorker Aline Griffith was desperate to aid in the war effort, but no one was interested in a young woman whose only career experience was modeling clothes. Later accepted into the Office of Strategic Services—forerunner of the CIA—Aline infiltrated European high society, engaging in deep-cover espionage. Telling a "fast-paced, edgy and highly engaging" tale (Wall Street Journal), Larry Loftis follows Aline to her eventual marriage to a Spanish count, an adventure of its own.
