The Vibe

1946. A British war correspondent and a Russian female Night Witch pilot team up with a Nazi hunter to track down a war criminal known as the Huntress — who has reinvented herself as an ordinary American housewife. Quinn weaves three timelines into a thriller about justice delayed but not denied.
