Book description
Colette McVeigh: Mother. Widow. Terrorist. For all of her twenty-nine
years she has lived the Republican cause. Her husband was killed by
the Brits. Her brothers have dedicated their lives to fighting them.
Until she is arrested in an aborted bombing raid in London when she
has to make a choice: inform and see your children again; or stay
silent and watch them grow up from the inside of a prison cell.
Her MI5 handler, David Ryan, has never questioned where his
loyalties lie. But as he watches Colette put herself in increasing
danger to fulfil her side of the bargain, he realises that his
certainty and integrity have been fatally and irrevocably compromised...
