Overview: The wartime spy career of Mathilde Carré – aka “the Cat” and “Agent Victoire” – is so extraordinary it almost defies belief’ The Times
‘A truly astonishing story, meticulously and brilliantly told’ Philippe Sands, author of The Ratline
RESISTANCE, COLLABORATION AND BETRAYAL
Occupied Paris, 1940. A woman in a red hat and a black fur coat hurries down a side-street. She is Mathilde Carré, codenamed ‘the Cat’, later known as Agent Victoire. She is charismatic, daring, and a spy; her story is one of heroism and survival against the odds.
These are the darkest days for France, half-occupied by Nazi Germany, half-governed by the collaborationist Vichy regime; and dark days for Britain, isolated and under threat of invasion. Yet Mathilde is driven by a sense of destiny that she will be her nation’s saviour.
