When Betty Farmer married double agent Eddie Chapman, aka Agent Zigzag, she knew her life would never be ordinary. Yet even before her marriage, her life had involved incendiary bombs, serial killers, film roles and love affairs with flying aces. And this extraordinary life looked set to become even more so, as during her marriage she came to own a beauty business, health farm, her own castle, and became the friend and confidante of several film stars and the American president, as well as an honoured guest of Middle Eastern royalty.
