Discussion & Book Signing with Bestselling Author Jane Healey

Join us for an evening with bestselling author of Beantown Girls, Jane Healey, to discuss her latest book - The Women of Arlington Hall.

This is a free event, but registration is required!

1947: Adventurous Radcliffe graduate Catherine “Cat” Killeen cancels her wedding and

upends a future that no longer suits her. At the behest of her professor and hungry for a

challenge, Cat arrives in Virginia to work on a confidential military project. A student in

cryptoanalysis, Cat is already ahead of the game—to assist in rooting out Soviet spies

who have infiltrated the US.

Joining the “government girls” of Arlington Hall, Cat gains the respect of her superiors and

the friendship of her peers. Then, on a night out in DC, Cat runs into Jonathan Dardis, her

arrogant and privileged Harvard rival and newly minted agent for the FBI. What Cat and

Jonathan share is a competitive drive and an attraction that’s becoming just as spirited.

They’re also united in the same critical goal for America. Together, they’re diving deep into

the shadows of espionage.

The stakes of the codebreaking operation grow ever higher, and Cat’s relationship with

Jonathan opens her heart. Amid dangerous intrigue and grave secrecy, Cat is ready for

every risk. No matter how personal the stakes get.
