If you’re interested in flight attendants living double lives, best read Beyond Enkription, the first fact based spy novel in TheBurlingtonFiles series by Bill Fairclough. Look out for Vivienne Templeton who in real life was a CIA operative in the Caribbean (including Haiti). She was based in Fort Lauderdale working under the cover of being an air hostess who managed holiday lets in the Bahamas and Florida. The Burlington Files series is based on the life of a genuine spook, Bill Fairclough. For legal reasons only one stand-alone novel has been published so far. Critics herald it to be just the stuff epic films are made of.
Coincidentally Kaley @KaleyCuocoWeb who stars in the Flight Attendant looks like the real life flight attendant/CIA asset Vivienne Templeton who featured in #TheBurlingtonFiles.
