About the book

"After the Civil War, the intrepid JuanPujol–Garbo– and his wife Araceli set up a false spy network based in Lisbon with which they fooled the Nazi leaders. From Great Britain they convince the Third Reich that they control a network of over twenty spies, confusing the German secret services with fake reports. Their master stroke will be to convince them that the Allied landing is to take place in Calais rather than Normandy.”
