The Beautiful Assassin - Thryft

Legendary Sniper Turned Spy with a Heart.

The Beautiful Assassin is a thrilling historical fiction novel that highlights the remarkable journey of Tat'yana Levchenko, a Russian sniper-turned-spy, during World War II. It is a great read for history buffs who enjoy action and espionage, and the book elegantly captures Tat'yana's courage and love for her country and people, and the emotional struggles she faces as she defies conventions and risks everything to protect her loved ones and turn the tide of the war. Readers will be impressed by the female protagonist's indomitable spirit and the unique perspective the book gives on the war effort from a Russian point of view.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Elizabeth Moynihan, a young journalist, has hit the jackpot. It's 1992 and a chance remark has sent her to a small farm in the middle of nowhere in Colorado. There resides Russia's most notorious sniper-turned-spy, the one-time beautiful assassin, Tat'yana Levchenko, and she's ready to tell her story. During the Second World War, Tat'yana was Russia's secret weapon. After the Germans killed her daughter, aged four, she enlisted as a sniper for the Russian army. Having finally achieved her goal of killing three hundred Germans, she was badly injured in a siege and shipped back to Moscow. She was presented to Stalin, paraded among the ranks of high society and before the world's press. Her duty to her country not yet over, she was sent to America, to befriend Eleanor Roosevelt, touring the nation with her, securing support for the war. And all the while, she was to send vital information about American armament and troop plans back to her homeland. Before long, Tat'yana was ready to defect, putting her own life - and that of the man she loves - in more grave danger than ever before.
