Griffith, Aline, Condesa de Romanones
When Aline Griffith was born in a quiet suburban village in New York, no one could imagine what her surprising future would be, full of danger and glamour. When the United States enters World War II, eyes turn to young college kids to join the war effort, but no one notices a bright-eyed young woman whose only professional experience is sewing and modeling clothes. Aline's life changes when she, at a dinner party, meets a man named Frank Ryan and reveals to him how desperately she wants to help her country. Within a few weeks, she recruits her for the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA. With a code name and expert training under her belt, Aline is sent to Spain as a coder, but is soon given the added task of infiltrating the upper echelons of society, mingling with high-ranking officials, diplomats, and titled Europeans. , any of which could be an enemy agent. Against this glamorous backdrop of galas and dinners, she recruits other members and engages in covert espionage to counter Nazi tactics in Madrid. Aline meets the Count of Romanones, but even after marrying him, she will secretly continue her undercover activities, receiving special assignments abroad that would benefit from her impeccable pedigree and social connections.
