Author Anthony Horowitz reveals the little-known story of how Folkestone became home to the precursors of MI5 and MI6.
The 麻豆社 has gained unprecedented access to records of the time to uncover the hidden world of espionage in Folkestone, and show that the secret world of spies was never far away.
The Spies Who Loved Folkestone brings this hotbed of espionage to life, illustrating a secret world of code names and secret messages: from the 17-year-old who was turned into a super spy, the nanny who ran a network of female spies, and a priest who worked undercover.
