In June 1952, a woman was murdered by an obsessive colleague in a hotel in South Kensington. Her name was Christine Granville. That she died young was perhaps unsurprising, but that she had survived the Second World War was remarkable.

The daughter of a feckless Polish aristocratic & his wealthy Jewish wife, she would become one of Britain’s most daring & highly decorated secret agents. Having fled Poland on the outbreak of war, she was recruited by the intelligence services long before the establishment of the SOE, & took on mission after mission. She skied over the hazardous High Tatras into Pol&, served in Egypt & North Africa & was later parachuted into Occupied France, where an agent’s life expectancy was only six weeks.

Her courage, quick wit & determination won her release from arrest more than once, & saved the lives of several fellow officers, including one of her many lovers, just hours before their execution by the Gestapo. More importantly, perhaps, the intelligence she gathered was a significant contribution to the Allied war effort & her success was reflected in the fact that she was awarded the George Medal, the OBE & the Croix de Guerre.
