On 28.2.42 there arrived in the U.K. a remarkable woman agent: Mathilde Lucie (or Lily) CARRE. Her codename was VICTOIRE, although she became better known as 'La Chatte' - the female cat. Her acts of treachery and betrayal were almost unprecedented in the history of intelligence, yet her involvement in the 'Interallié affair' has, to date, only warranted a brief mention in the accounts of special operations in France during the Second World War. But what motivated her to betray upwards of 100 members of the Interallié network, the largest spy network in France? Using official MI5 files, this book examines what motivated those acts of betrayal; the impact they had on those associated with her; and how her case was handled first, by German, then British Intelligence.
