Glen's Reviews > The Last Hope

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

Maggie Hope is given the mission she's been asking for since she was recruited, but it's an assassination. She is to kill a developer of what will be known as the atom bomb. She isn't sure such a bomb is even possible, and goes to Spain to investigate.

Overwrought like this sort of novel tends to be.

What I found interesting was the inclusion of Coco Chanel, the creator of the little black dress, and her well known Nazi ties. Somehow, she was never called to account. I'm not sure how accurate MacNeal's description of her character is, but Chanel's Nazi links are worth exploring at least as much as IBM's.
