1943: Beautiful young American model Aline Griffith is recruited as a spy, trained, and flown to Spain, with her mission to infiltrate the highest echelons of Spanish society and uncover secret links to the Nazis.
Under the code name “Tiger,” this remarkable woman probed the depths of the Nazi underground, risking her life—and her love—in a glittering world of high intrigue far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.
The Spy Wore Red is a harrowing first-hand account of the dangers and adventures she experienced as an undercover agent.
Today, ALINE, COUNTESS OF ROMANONES, is known as the best-selling author of The Spy Wore Red, The Spy Went Dancing, and The Spy Wore Silk. When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed that a career as an actress or a model might have been in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society—or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society.
