"Quinn delivers a suspenseful WWII tale of murder and revenge. This exciting thriller vividly reveals how people face adversity and sacrifice while chasing justice and retribution."--Publishers Weekly "Well-researched and vivid segments are interspersed detailing Nina's backstory... a fierce yet vulnerable antecedent to Lisbeth Salander. Quinn's language is evocative of the period, and her characters are good literary company. With any luck, the Nazi hunting will go on for a sequel or two."--Kirkus Reviews "If you like period dramas, thrillers, female-fronted sagas, or all three, you'll want to pre-order your copy soon."--Marie Claire "[A] complexly structured saga delivers exciting aerial sequences and intrigue worthy of a Hitchcock movie.
