The Seaside Spy: Double Bluff or Disaster?

Dorothy O’Grady was an ordinary Seaside landlady.
She was also the first person ever to receive a death sentence under the 1940 Espionage act.
This is the extraordinary tale of the seaside spy and the events that conspired to ensure that even now, decades after her death, her true story remains shrouded in mystery.

For all the details I had to leave out make sure to read Adrian Searle’s fascinating book:
