Blackbirder
From the "queen of noir," a gripping 1943 WWII espionage novel with a unique hardboiled heroine. From Occupied France to the New Mexican desert - via Cuba and New York - the heroine of this WWII thriller traverses a world of sinister character and double identities. Escaping persecution for her allegiance to the French Resistance, and unwittingly drawn into a web of espionage, this American expat soon has not only the Gestapo but also the FBI and the New York cops on her trail. But her surprising smarts and nerve bring her ever closer to the one man - the Blackbirder - who can get her to her destination. Freedom.
