When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or a model would be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society to uncover secret links to the Nazis; or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society.
Under the code name “Tiger,” this remarkable woman probed the depths of the Nazi underground, risking her life—and her love—in a glittering world of high intrigue far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.The Spy Wore Redis a harrowing first-hand account of the dangers and adventures she experienced as an undercover agent.

“A fascinating and exciting story evoking those marvelous days we served in the OSS in Europe. Her narrative reflects sensitively and accurately the clandestine intrigue and strategic maneuvers that marked the struggle between the secret services as well as the Allied and Axis powers, and the atmosphere and high social life in wartime Spain.”
(William J. Casey, CIA Director)“A welcome addition to the espionage genre.”
(New York Times)“Reads like a perfect thriller!”
(New Yorker)“Thrilling…exciting and dangerous adventures.”
(New York Post)“Entertaining…a life of glamour and danger that Ingrid Bergman only played at in Notorious.”
(Time)“One of the most fascinating women of style and substance I have met. If I didn’t know her and her capacities, I would have had trouble believing this hair-raising story.”
(Oscar de la Renta)“Excellent…better than fiction!”
(Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
