Publisher's Synopsis
The war has ended, but for Natalya Mikhailovna Petrovna, the dead still whisper in the streets of Leningrad.
Story:
In 1944, as the city struggles to rebuild after the siege, a celebrated war hero is found executed in an alley-his name erased, his past rewritten. The NKVD calls it treason. Natalya, once a revered Soviet sniper, knows better. Oleg Ivanov was no traitor. He was silenced.
Determined to uncover the truth, she navigates the frozen ruins of a starving city, where loyalty is a currency, and betrayal lurks in the shadows. But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes some secrets are meant to stay buried. The names on a long-forgotten list, the whispers of executions in the snow-someone is willing to kill again to keep the past hidden.
Perfect for fans of historical thrillers like The Nightingale and Child 44, Shadows of Leningrad blends noir mystery, Soviet espionage, and the haunting scars of war into a gripping page-turner.
As the NKVD closes in and the ghosts of the siege demand justice, Natalya faces an impossible choice: uncover the truth and risk disappearing like so many before her, or let history be rewritten in blood.
Will the truth survive, or will Leningrad's ghosts be silenced forever?
