Famous codebreaker and computer scientist Alan Turing’s legend has grown through books and films such as The Imitation Game, and it has become a challenge to  discern the real man from the story.  Now, Alan Turing’s nephew, Sir Dermot Turing, has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing’s life and creativity in his new biography Prof: Alan Turing Decoded. As a family member and a trustee of Bletchley Park, the UK headquarters for codebreaking during WWII, Dermot Turing has a fresh perspective on this extraordinary man.

Spying can have grave consequences, and some of the world’s most famous turncoats have met their end or faced the music in our nation’s capital. Which of these spy specters are bringing new meaning to the term “dead drop”?  Is Civil War spy Rose Greenhow haunting the city where she was imprisoned with her small daughter? Does Soviet defector Walter Krivitsky wander the halls of the hotel where he met his mysterious demise?
