What this book is about
Three timelines converge: Nina Markova, a Soviet Night Witch pilot with a score to settle, flying bombing raids over Nazi positions; Ian Graham, a journalist hunting war criminals in the years after the war; and Jordan McBride in 1946 Boston, whose father is about to marry a mysterious woman named Rose. Kate Quinn's WWII thriller moves with precision toward the revelation that one woman is a female Nazi war criminal who escaped justice — with the full historical weight of what that means.
