Six Wartime Escapades

Julia Heron has three problems: her rent, her wardrobe, and a Secret Service handler who’s convinced a diamond bracelet and a low-cut evening gown mean she can’t be trusted with a mission. He’s wrong. Every single time.

Blackmailed into the Department by a man she can’t stand, Julia talks her way past double-crossing informants, unmasks a spy at a country house party over cocktails, catches an enemy signalman with a borrowed sable coat and a burning pillow, and turns every trap built for her into one her enemies walk straight into instead. She does it in heels. She does it with a code word she’s just been told is wrong. She does it while worrying, quite genuinely, about her clothing coupons.

Across six capers stretching from a Mayfair hotel lounge to a fog-bound yacht on the Broads, Julia proves, night after night, that the most dangerous person in the room is the woman everyone assumes is only there to be looked at.

Six enemies who underestimated her. One very clever girl who never let them see it coming.

A Peter Cheyney Classic.
