Could it be true?

Still working to get permission to post photos of Violette’s possessions.

Meanwhile, there’s the theory of Violette’s last cache. This gets lots of people very excited. The idea is that before she disappeared she buried something in France, probably around Normandy where we believe she was operating. Nobody knows what was in it, but people say gold, or important papers, or blueprints. And there’s also speculation that the uncrackable last message points the way to it.

A lot of people have spent a lot of time looking for Violette’s last cache. It’s like Rennes-le-Château or Oak Island: there’s probably nothing there, it’s fun to think about it, and a few people who think about it too much become obsessed, spend years and fortunes trying to crack the secret, and fail.

I’m mentioning it because another group has sprung up to talk about it, headed by a mysterious individual called ‘The Fan’ who runs a blog and discussion board called Violette’s Dream. You can find it here. I’m not sure what their angle is, but they’re getting quite excited about it all.

Will Violette’s cache feature in Velvet Assassin? That would be telling...
