Beautiful Assassin - by Michael C White (Paperback)

From the Back Cover

A breathtaking tale of love, loyalty, and intrigue set in the early days of World War II from the acclaimed author of Soul Catcher

World War II seems lost for the beleaguered Soviets as they struggle to hold back the rising German tide at Sevastopol. But a fearless female sniper inspires hope during her nation's darkest hour. Word of the extraordinary Soviet heroine, Tat'yana Levchenko, reaches American First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, who invites the beautiful assassin to tour the United States with her. For the Russians, Tat'yana's visit is an opportunity to gain support and valuable U.S. intelligence. But Tat'yana knows she is a pawn in a deadly game of treachery and deceit, forced to question the motivations of everyone around her . . . even the dashing and sympathetic American captain assigned as her translator. And then, as suddenly as she rose to international fame, Tat'yana vanishes without a trace.

Her strange disappearance will remain a mystery for decades--until a determined journalist stumbles across Tat'yana's story . . . and uncovers the astonishing truth.

Review Quotes

"A marvelous historical novel...It is the perfect book if you or someone you love has worn out the DVDs in Ken Burns' documentary The Civil War, hyperventilates at the mere mention of Cold Mountain or yearns for stories about psychologically damaged men on horseback, à la Lonesome Dove. . . . An insightful journey of human redemption and a gun-blazing adventure at the same time." - USA Today
"A beautiful page turner." - Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers
