Publication Information
New Year’s Eve, 1945. The assassin steps out of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of a raging nor’easter. Cool and efficient, she’s a weapon of war superbly trained in the ancient arts of subterfuge and murder. And even though she’s outnumbered, she’s got one major advantage: No one knows she’s coming.
"Ingenious.... A solid, satisfying treat for the armchair historian." - Kirkus Reviews.
"An exciting thriller that rings so true it's difficult to tell where fact ends and fiction begins. Robbins is a master--at the top of his game with this one."--Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Templar Legacy.
"If you read one book this year, make it The Assassin's Gallery. Mesmerizing plotting, characters you'll never forget, and a wealth of invaluable historical seasoning that make you wonder ... did it actually happen this way? Only one word will do to describe this novel: masterpiece."--Brian Haig, bestselling author of Man in the Middle.
"The powerful climax deserves the term 'heart-stopping.'" - Publishers Weekly
