Description

socialite art collector ladies who later founded the Guggenheim Museum, but first answered the call of duty, joined the FBI, and pretty much won World War II all by themselves. They steal Hitler’s and Stalin’s mojos and use a secret weapon brewed in St. Louis to put down the Great Indian Uprising. (Of course, you remember that, right?) They save J. Edgar Hoover and his quite handsome sidekick Clyde Tolson from treasonous double-agents of The Pigeon, who wants to take over the FBI and run all the Post Toasties® Junior G-Men Clubs. The Gals team up with Secret Agent X-9, Presidential Agent 103, James Bonds’ father Jonquil “Junk” Bond, the Bama Jamma of the Brooklyn Girls Roller Derby Team, the King and Queen of England and their corgis, and the FBI’s bevy of beautiful Secret Agent Super Sluts—whew, what a list!—to uncover a secret so awful, so terrible, it shouldn’t even be hinted at in a synopsis of a book.  socialite art collector ladies who later founded the Guggenheim Museum, but first answered the call of duty, joined the FBI, and pretty much won World War II all by themselves.

Advance Praise

“Richard Gid Powers is one of our greatest scholars of FBI history. In Secret Agent Gals, he imagines what might have been." --Yale’s Beverly Gage, author of The G-man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century 


“Wickedly funny. Who's to say gorgeous FBI gal agents couldn't have thwarted J. Edgar Hoover, Hitler, and Stalin to win WW II? Few writers could have cooked up a plot this unexpected plus a surprise ending you’d have to be as far outside-the-box as Powers to figure out. I wish you a wild ride on this crazy roller-coaster of a read! --Cathy Cash Spellman, Author of Paint the Wind, and A Murder on Jane Street


"A wild and captivating ride from a brilliant historian-turned-novelist who knows the turf and where all the bodies are buried." --David Evanier, Woody, The Biography; Roman Candle: Bobby Darin; Red Love, A Novel.
