70. A twist in the tale?

In 1945, a nameless girl escaped from a displaced person camp in Karylos, Greece. Wandering through post-WW2 Mediterranean and Arabia, she befriended another wandering refugee, a Hungarian scholar named Lob who gave her an education and a name.

Eventually she took control of a criminal gang in Tangier and expanded it to international status as "The Network" where her right hand man was one Willie Garvin. Incidentally he also called her "Princess".

When she felt she'd made enough money, she retired and moved to England; Willie Garvin followed suit. Bored by their new lives among the idle rich, they accepted a request for assistance from Sir Gerald Tarrant, a high-ranking official of the British secret service — and this is where the story really begins.

Whose?
