1944, Soviet Russia: in the only country to be flying female bomber pilots, fearless Nina Markova and her fellow Night Witches defend the skies against the Nazi firestorm. But when Nina crashes behind enemy lines and comes eye to eye with a ruthless murderess, her life hangs in the balance.
Haunted by the horrors of war, British journalist Ian Graham begins to search for Nazi war criminals. Yet one dangerous target eludes him - a killer known as the Huntress - and only Nina, the one witness to escape alive, can draw her out.
In post-war Boston, Jordan McBride has a new stepmother. Yet as she delves into this mysterious woman's past, she discovers a well of dark secrets - and a danger hiding in plain sight.

A gripping tale with well drawn characters and one in particular that attracts attention. This for me is Nina. She embodies the title just as much as, if not more, than the war criminal who is the focus of the novel.

Taking to today's mini meet at Prezzo.

Thank you Tanamo.

Surprised how much I enjoyed this tale. Like Tanamo, I was very taken with Nina but all characters were well drawn. Kate Quinn is a very good story teller.

For a friend to read and release
