    About this ebook

    Hollywood has yet to produce either heroes or villains that can match the heights and depths of humanity. Who is more courageous than a one-legged woman, "the most dangerous spy in all of France," operating in Nazi-occupied territory? Who is more extraordinary than a young man left for dead, not worth a Viet Cong bullet, who survives to hunt down terrorists for six more decades? Who is more heroic than a homeless child living in a cardboard box who grows up to be an iconic showgirl, an espionage legend, and a tireless humanitarian? And what villain is more malevolent than the traitor that lurks in our midst, walking our halls and eating at our tables while helping our enemies murder our own and butcher thousands of innocents?

    Join us as we explore the lives of these espionage elites and others who prove that "we're only human" is not an excuse to fail, but a reason to succeed.

    "The Good, the Bad and the Booty is a rollicking ride through some of history's most notorious espionage personalities. Well researched and written, the deep dive into the Cambridge Five is particularly interesting. This book is great for not only the casual reader or spy fan but also for those who are more well versed in the subjects.

    ~ Doug Patteson, Former CIA Operations Officer

    "When it comes to research into the clandestine depths of spycraft, they dynamic duo of Bayard & Holmes have put together a must-read series that is written with authority, yet easily digestible. I've already added their books to my shelf of writing essentials—you should, too!"

                ~ James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestseller of Crucible

    Bayard and Holmes

    Piper Bayard is an author and a recovering attorney with a college degree or two. She is also a belly dancer and a former hospice volunteer. She has been working daily with her good friend Jay Holmes for the past decade, learning about foreign affairs, espionage history, and field techniques for the purpose of writing fiction and nonfiction. She currently pens espionage nonfiction and international spy thrillers with Jay Holmes, as well as post-apocalyptic fiction of her own. Jay Holmes is a forty-something-year veteran of field espionage operations and a senior member of the Intelligence Community with experience spanning from the Cold War fight against the Soviets, the East Germans, and the various terrorist organizations they sponsored to the present Global War on Terror. He is unwilling to admit to much more than that. Piper is the public face of their partnership. Together, Bayard & Holmes author non-fiction articles and books on espionage and foreign affairs, as well as fictional international spy thrillers. They are also the bestselling authors of The Spy Bride from the Risky Brides Bestsellers Collection and were featured contributors for Social In Worldwide, Inc. When they aren’t writing or, in Jay’s case, busy with “other work,” Piper and Jay are enjoying time with their families, hiking, exploring back roads of America, talking foreign affairs, laughing at their own rude jokes until the wee hours, and questing for the perfect chocolate cake recipe. If you think you have that recipe, please share it with them at BH@BayardandHolmes.com.
