Now in their nineties, they\u2019re still in great form, and are in hot demand, appearing at commemorative events all over the country. The latest excitement is a trip to Paris to receive the L\u00e9gion d&#8217;honneur, accompanied by their devoted great-nephew, who believes the pair had minor roles in the Women&#8217;s Royal Navy and the First Aid Nursing Yeomanry. But that&#8217;s only half the story. There&#8217;s a reason sweet Auntie Penny can dispatch a would-be mugger with a brolly. This trip to Paris is not what it seems either. Scandal and crime have trailed the sisters since the war. Now armed with new information about an old adversary, these much decorated (but admittedly ancient) veterans intend to settle scores, avenge lost friends, and pull off one last heist.
