Aline's life changes when, at a dinner party, she meets a man named Frank Ryan and reveals how desperately she wants to do her part for her country. Within a few weeks, he helps her join the Office of Strategic Services - forerunner of the CIA. With a code name and expert training under her belt, she is sent to Spain to be a coder, but is soon given the additional assignment of infiltrating the upper echelons of society, mingling with high-ranking officials, diplomats, and titled Europeans, any of whom could be an enemy agent. Against this glamorous backdrop of galas and dinner parties, she recruits sub-agents and engages in deep-cover espionage to counter Nazi tactics in Madrid. Even after marrying the Count of Romanones, one of the wealthiest men in Spain, Aline secretly continues her covert activities, being given special assignments when abroad that would benefit from her impeccable pedigree and social connections." $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 19 945 $a lpt 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621012417.0 952 $l TVPD862 $d 20240501142837.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021454.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022338.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909064357.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806013357.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728021401.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20220111010828.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20220104012325.0 952 $l SEPC074 $d 20211214010718.0 952 $l XSPE157 $d 20211130011046.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20211127010235.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118022424.0 952 $l XHPD657 $d 20210824010946.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014055.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210709010746.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012343.0 952 $l CUPC586 $d 20210626010141.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210602012049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D825619CC36711EB9DF7EFEA5BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
