Summary:
Someone is trying to kill Sally Gilmartin. It is the summer of 1976,
and the only person she can trust is her daughter, Ruth, a young
single mother struggling with her own demons. Now Sally must tell her
daughter the truth: She is actually Eva Delectorskaya, a Russian
émigré recruited for the British Secret Service in 1939. Soon Ruth is
drawn deeper into the astonishing events of her mother’s past,
including her work in New York City manipulating the press in order
to shift public sentiment toward U.S. involvement in Second World War
and her dangerous love affair with another spy. Ruth also discovers
that her mother has one final assignment. This time, though, Eva
can’t do it alone—she needs Ruth’s help. Full of tension and drama,
emotion and history, this is storytelling at its finest.
