Biography[]
As in the novel, Mary Trueblood was secretary to John Strangways, operating the British Secret Service station in Jamaica. Unaware that Strangways has been murdered, she proceeds to make contact with London for their scheduled transmission. Hearing a noise, she proceeds to investigate, only to find Strangways' killers, the Three Blind Mice breaking into the house. As she turns, she finds one of the men at the window behind her and is shot in the breast. As they take her body out, they carefully remove all the Service's files relating to Crab Key and Dr. No.
