Fiction has not, and probably never will, produce an espionage story to rival in fascination and improbability the true story of an English crook, Edward Arnold Chapman, whom only war could invest with any virtue. - MI5 file
 

This eagerly awaited book is the definitive story of Eddie Chapman, Britain's greatest  and most unlikely  double agent. With unique access to Eddie's widow, Betty, family, friends, as well as Eddie's own letters, recollections and reminiscences, Nicholas Booth's authoritative biography tells the full story for the first time. This book is also a great love story about his devotion to Betty and their many trials and tribulations together.

"Nicholas Booth's engrossing account of Eddie Chapman's exploits is a gripping page turner. It provides an excellent portrait of this slippery real life agent and conman. It is skilfully written and fast-paced"

From a review by Dr. David Stafford, historian at Edinburgh University and expert on World War II espionage
