Publisher's Summary

Stella Rimmington meets State of Play in this smart political thriller for a new generation of Le Carré fans.

Secrets

Belfast, 1991.

Maire Anne McCartney is recruited for a one-off IRA mission as a honey trap. She is told there will be no violence. But she has been lied to. To save herself, 18-year-old Maire must flee across the border alone and start a new life.

State

London, present day.

Human rights lawyer Anne-Marie Gallagher is appointed Minister of State for Security and Immigration. At the same time, the police in Belfast receive an anonymous tip-off. The password is verified from the Troubles - and the coordinates lead DCI Jon Carne to a field. And a body.

Betrayal

The new Minister receives a message and realises that the new life she has crafted is at risk of being uncovered. And when Carne's investigation brings Anne-Marie to his attention, she must decide where her allegiances lie....
