Elizabeth Moynihan, a young journalist, has hit the jackpot. Its 1992 and a chance remark has sent her to a small farm in the middle of nowhere in Colorado. There resides Russias most notorious sniper-turned-spy, the one-time beautiful assassin, Tatyana Levchenko, and sheâs ready to tell her story. During the Second World War, Tatyana was Russias 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 worldâs 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, Tatâyana was ready to defect, putting her own life and that of the man she loves in more grave danger than ever before.
