The Secrets of Rue St Roch
Allen Lane, August 2004
In 1917 a young British captain based in Paris recruited two unlikely agents to the Allied cause: one, a middle aged woman of good family from Luxembourg, the other an intrepid and exotic Belgian by the name of Baschwitz Meau, well known for his numerous escapes from German camps. Both were to play crucial roles in one of the most remarkable military intelligence operations, hitherto undocumented.
This is the account of an extraordinary espionage operation in the Great War. It is the tale both soldiers and civilians, a story about moral choices, the nature of courage and the discovery by ordinary men and women of what, in extreme circumstances, it was possible for them to do.
