Countess of Romanones Aline Bücher

Faszinierend wie ein Märchen, packend wie ein Thriller -eine unglaubliche Lebensgeschichte. Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs gibt die junge Aline Griffith, amerikanisches Top-Modell, ihren Job auf und wird Geheimdienstagentin. Ihre Mission führt sie 1944 nach Madrid, wo sie die geheimen Kanäle zwischen dem "Dritten Reich" und dem Franco-Regime ausspioniert. Mehr als einmal setzt sie dabei ihr Leben aufs Spiel. Dennoch war ihr das Land am Ende ihrer Mission so sehr ans Herz gewachsen, daß sie einen spanischen Grafen heiratete.

When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or a model would be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society; or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

It is 1966. An ace operative, code named Tiger, is called out of semiretirement by the CIA for a crucial mission. Tiger is Aline, countess of Romanones, an internationally prominent socialite who can charm people into saying more than they intend to. The successor to Aline's The Spy Wore Red.
