Hooks uses thorough research and previously unpublished photographs to shape a complete portrait of an intriguing woman. An old, rat-infested cargo ship that creaked and groaned in the water, the S. Edam was embarking on its thirty-fourth Transatlantic return voyage under the command of a Dutch captain named Jochems. Tina and her two fellow deportees, Johann Windisch and Isaak Abramovich Rosenblum, were booked into third-class cabins.

Right away she was disheartened to learn that the journey would take six weeks. But the man who boarded the Edam was not Hurwitz. It was another young man, stockily built, with coarse features and a receding hairline, who should have been immediately recognisable to Tina. Had he not been so well disguised, she would have known right away that it was in fact her Communist mentor and fellow Italian Vittorio Vidali.

There had been little time for Vittorio to contact Tina in Mexico City following her release from prison. In any case, it would have been dangerous because of her round-the-clock police escort.
