Who Is Maud Dixon has enough twists and turns (really good ones) to make. Those terms are fine with Florence until things begin to seem ‘off’ and she finds herself in a hospital in Morocco after an accident that she doesn’t remember. The catch is that Florence can not reveal who she works for OR reveal Maud Dixon’s real name. ![]() Somehow Florence’s ‘dream job’ of working with a famous author is advertised and she is hired!

Nevertheless, some of Reilly’s greatest missions are skipped over because they could not be confirmed (such as his work behind German lines in WWI). This is a good book for those wanting factual information on Reilly and the author has restricted himself to telling only anecdotes which can be backed up by facts.
