520    Independent filmmaker Mary Haverstick thought she’d 
       stumbled onto the project of a lifetime—a biopic of 
       aviation pioneer Jerrie Cobb, the key figure in a group of
       extraordinary women who in 1960 passed the same tests as 
       the legendary male astronauts of the Mercury 7 but never 
       went to space. Just as casting was set to begin, 
       Haverstick received a mysterious warning from a government
       agent; soon she began to suspect that there was more to 
       Jerrie’s story than met the eye. As she dug deeper, she 
       discovered that Jerrie’s life shadowed that of a 
       mysterious CIA agent named June Cobb, whose espionage 
       career traced an arc of intrigue from the jungles of South
       America to Fidel Castro’s Cuba, to the communist literary 
       circles in Mexico City—and ultimately into the dark heart 
       of the Kennedy assassination in Dallas.  Haverstick’s 
       attempt to learn the truth directly from Jerrie would 
       plunge her into a cat-and-mouse game that stretched across
       a decade, deep into a thicket of coded CIA files. As she 
       uncovered a remarkable set of mostly unknown women whose 
       high-stakes intelligence work left its only traces in 
       redacted files, she also found shocking new clues about 
       what really happened at Dealey Plaza in 1963. Offering 
       fresh insight into the Kennedy assassination and a vivid 
       picture of women in midcentury intelligence, A Woman I 
       Know brings to life the astonishing duplicities of the 
       Cold War intelligence game, a world where code names and 
       hidden identities were the lifeblood of spies bent on 
       seeking advantage by any means necessary.
