Elyse Graham on Book and Dagger

Sponsored by the Caxton Club.

Remember why we chose you for this assignment. You’re a reader. September 12 is the day all your training is put to the test.

The code will be included in the special communique you’ll receive after you register. Memorize it and make it your own.

It will be vital as you rendezvous with the other Caxton agents to interrogate the author of Book and Dagger: How Scholars and Librarians Became the Unlikely Spies of World War II (Ecco Books – An Imprint of Harper Collins).

Who is this phantom? It’s Elyse Graham, codename Seawolf.

Her cover story? Historian. Professor. Ivy covered halls of Stony Brook University, which cleverly hides in plain sight … in Stony Brook, New York. Graduate of Princeton. MIT. Yale.

This is your chance to unmask crafty saboteurs like Adele Kibre – medievalist. Sherman Kent – Yale historian. And more. You know the types. A chilling glance. A penetrating question. They knew how to wound.

Location. Steel Room. Eighth Floor. Union League Club. Noon. September 12. A big screen on the wall followed by a luncheon that will challenge the very fabric of your will power. (The soup alone could do in your diet.)

Or, if your cover’s been blown, head for your safe house and login. Zoom will be your handler and using Chat to ask questions has a way of making speakers talk.

Gathered at the Union League Club or hunkered down in your safe house, trench coats are optional.

Zoom presentation is free and open to all. Preregistration required, click here.
