About this ebook
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.
"An exciting tale of espionage and counterespionage...Thrills, intrigue and action from the invasion of Norway to the fall of France." - Los Angeles Times
Dennis Wheatley
Dennis Yates Wheatley (1897–1977) was an English author whose prolific output of stylish thrillers and occult novels made him one of the world's best-selling writers from the 1930s through the 1960s. His Gregory Sallust series was one of the main inspirations for Ian Fleming's James Bond stories. Born in South London, he was the eldest of three children of an upper-middle-class family, the owners of Wheatley & Son of Mayfair, a wine business. He admitted to little aptitude for schooling, and was expelled from Dulwich College. Soon after his expulsion Wheatley became a British Merchant Navy officer cadet on the training ship HMS Worcester. During the Second World War, Wheatley was a member of the London Controlling Section, which secretly coordinated strategic military deception and cover plans. His literary talents gained him employment with planning staffs for the War Office. He wrote numerous papers for the War Office, including suggestions for dealing with a German invasion of Britain. During his life, he wrote more than 70 books which sold over 50 million copies.
