Résumé

Paris, 1917 : George Bruce, a young British intelligence officer, is assigned to headquarters at 41 Rue St Roch. His mission : to set up an underground espionage ring behind enemy lines ... As war rages across the battlefields of Europe, an intrepid group of men and women - including housewife turned code expert Madame Rischard, fearless teacher Joseph Hansen and, above all, dashing adventurer and balloonist Baschwitz Meau - are to risk their lives infiltrating German territory in an incredible intelligence operation. Based on a cache of papers hidden for over fifty years, The Secrets of Rue St Roch tells for the first time an enthralling true story of loyalty, ingenuity and extraordinary bravery.

À propos de l'auteur

Biographie de Janet Morgan

Since 1995, when Captain Bruce's files were rediscovered, Janet Morgan has spent most of her spare time searching the Continent for his agents' descendants, deciphering coded letters and secret reports, examining maps, timetables, moonlight diagrams and methods of escaping from prison camps, and learning about railways, espionage, pigeons and ballooning. The greater part of her working life, meanwhile, is spent as a director of various public companies in the telecommunications, transport, construction, financial and energy industries. She lives in Scotland and, like Madame Rischard, is a housewife. Her other books include the four-volume edition of the Crossman Diaries and the authorized biographies of Agatha Christie and Edwina Mountbatten ; The Secrets of Rue St Roch is a jigsaw puzzle on an even bigger scale.
