Gospa iz Vječnog grada

Gospa iz Vječnog grada

Kate Quinn

This is a historical thriller that intertwines three stories set in the post-war era following World War II, focusing on the search for the infamous Nazi criminal known as "Lady Death."

The story follows three perspectives: Ian Graham, a British war correspondent and Nazi hunter, who in 1950 is searching for the mysterious Lady Death, a vicious assassin from Eastern Europe; Nina Markova, a former Soviet pilot from the elite all-female "Night Witch" regiment, whose past with Lady Death carries a personal trauma; and Jordan McBride, a seventeen-year-old girl from Boston who suspects that her new stepmother, German immigrant Anneliese, is hiding a dark secret. As Ian and his partner Tony, along with Nina, follow the trail of Lady Death across Europe and America, Jordan's search for the truth puts her in danger. The novel combines the suspense of a thriller with historical accuracy, exploring themes of justice, revenge, trauma, and survival. Quinn masterfully captures the post-war atmosphere, from the devastated Vienna to the American suburbs, with strong female characters and complex moral dilemmas. Nina, inspired by real Soviet female pilots, brings special strength to the story with her indomitable courage.
