The Secret AdversaryHiring themselves out as 'young adventurers willing to do anything' proves to be a smart move for Tommy and Tuppence. The first job sounds like a dream. All Tuppence has to do is take an all-expense-paid trip to Paris and pose as an American named Jane Finn. But with the assignment comes a bribe to keep quiet, a new employer. Now Tuppence's newest job is playing detective - because if there's a 'Jane Finn' that really exists, she's got a secret that's putting both their lives in danger. |
