A powerful psychological and political thriller with a touch of romance, by Belfast born and bred Lizzy Shannon. In 1979 Northern Ireland, Jennifer Hamilton's life is destroyed by a terrorist bomb. Vowing revenge, she is willingly recruited by her British Army lover, Mike McLeod, into an intelligence detachment to infiltrate a traditional band led by one of the men responsible, Séan Maguire. Not knowing Séan is responsible, she begins to fall for him, entering a dangerous love triangle between the two men. As she comes to understand the Celtic viewpoint of the conflict, as well as the British, she begins to go native until she uncovers a plot to assassinate the Duke of Edinburgh at the upcoming Edinburgh Festival. Recruited by one man to spy on the other: which side will she choose?
Kirkus Reviews -- "Shannon is clearly drawing on her own personal background and experiences as a Northern Irish native...enriched by historical references...a touch of romance that should impress readers with its political acumen."
