Description
A psychological thriller set against the backdrop of the ongoing Northern Irish conflict. Colette McVeigh: a widow... a mother... a terrorist. A woman who has spent 33 years of her life devoted to the cause of the Irish republicans. A woman whose two brothers are heavily involved in high positions within the Irish Republican Army, and whose husband was killed by British security forces. A woman who is now an informant for the British secret service MI5. When Colette is arrested after a failed bombing attempt in London, she is given a choice: either she will speak and see her children again, or she will remain silent and watch her children grow up without her from behind the bars of a prison cell for the rest of her life. Her young MI5 handler, David Ryan, who has always known where his loyalties lie, leads her to betray her entire past. However, when he follows Colette across the Irish Sea to Belfast, his loyalty is quickly sacrificed on the funeral pyre of this country's history. Ryan watches as Colette, in order to fulfill her part of the bargain, exposes herself to increasing danger, and he realizes that he himself is irrevocably and fatally betraying his professional honor...
