From the author of Alice's Network .
Bold and fearless, Nina Markova has always dreamed of flying. When the Nazis attack the Soviet Union, she risks everything to join the legendary Night Witches, an all-female night bomber regiment tasked with fighting the German invaders. Trapped behind enemy lines, Nina falls victim to a lethal Nazi assassin known as the Huntress, and will need all her bravery and cunning to stay alive.
Transformed by the horrors he witnessed from Omaha Beach to the Nuremberg trials, British war correspondent Ian Graham became a Nazi hunter. However, one target eludes him: the ruthless predator known as the Huntress. To find her, the fierce and disciplined investigator joins forces with the only witness who escaped the Huntress alive: the brash and self-important Nina. But a shared secret could derail the mission, unless Ian and Nina force themselves to face it.
Growing up in post-war Boston, young Jordan McBride is determined to become a photographer. When her long-widowed father comes home with a girlfriend, Jordan is happy for him. But there's something unsettling about the soft-spoken German widow. Certain that danger lurks, Jordan begins to investigate her new stepmother's past—and uncovers deeply buried family secrets... secrets that could threaten everything she holds dear.
The Huntress is a gripping and moving story that illuminates the consequences of war on individual lives and the price paid in the pursuit of justice and truth.
