Brilliant utterly compelling political thriller set around the troubles in Ireland and present day there and here. Cleverly constructed with deceit and love to the fore a sense of menace from both the IRA and the British establishment is never far away. A good cast of characters complement our heroine in a tale that keeps it's pace all the way to an unexpected climax. Superb!
