This is a strange book. Mostly, it was hard reading and boring. But then, the authors note at the end mentioned Amelia Earhart’s famous flight, and the rumor that it was actually a recognizance mission for the government.

This, after the book ends with the main character about to go off to Germany, in the late 1930’s, after being in contact with FDR’s people to have a “look around at cocktail parties and let us know what you hear.”

What? Really?

Was she saying that her character, on an errant mission from the government, never returned home?
