The Black Baroness

'Before there was James Bond, there was Gregory Sallust.' Tina Rosenberg, Salon.com

The Black Baroness is the fourth in Dennis Wheatley's bestselling Gregory Sallust series featuring the debonair spy Gregory Sallust, a forerunner to Ian Fleming's James Bond.



During the seventy terrific days from Hitler's invasion of Norway in April to the surrender of the French in June, British Secret Agent Gregory Sallust infiltrates enemy lines to foil the Führer's plans for domination.



While in Oslo, Sallust uncovers Hitler's secret weapon: young, beautiful and respectable Nazi women who use their charms to seduce neutral politicians and turn them pro-German.



These women are led by the Black Baroness, a French Nazi whose powers of persuasion overcome even Mussolini. Sallust tracks the Baroness across France and Italy trying to stop her before it's too late.
