What she doesn't expect is for Bentley to ensnare her in her own story of becoming a controversial World War II spy and Cold War informer... Recruited by the American Communist Party to spy on fascists at the outbreak of World War II, a young Bentley--code name Clever Girl--finds she has an unexpected gift for espionage. But after falling desperately in love with her handler, Jacob Golos, Elizabeth makes another unexpected discovery when she learns her lover is actually a Russian spy. Together, they will build the largest Soviet spy network in America and Elizabeth will become its uncrowned Red Spy Queen. However, once the war ends and the U.S. and U.S.S.R. become embroiled in the Cold War, it is Elizabeth who will dangerously clash with the NKVD, the brutal Soviet espionage agency. As Catherine listens to Elizabeth's harrowing tale, she empathizes with her, that is, until she uncovers startling revelations that link the two women's lives in shocking ways. Faced with the idea that her entire existence is based on a lie, Catherine realizes there can be many sides to the truth. And only Elizabeth Bentley can tell her what that truth really is"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Communist Party of the United States of America $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Bentley, Elizabeth, $d 1908-1963 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Communism $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women spies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Informers $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Espionage, Soviet $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626012730.0 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20240215010519.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011607.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20221202021654.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20220408010529.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220202010516.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211216010024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CD9F4DB65E3D11EC8A67FCCD29ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
