Two sisters find they can’t outrun their past in the riveting new thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Northern Spy, a Reese’s Book Club pick

Three years after they narrowly escaped the IRA’s worst punishment for informing, Northern Irish sisters Tessa and Marian Daly have built a new life in Dublin with their young children. Though Tessa is haunted by the abrupt and violent end to her old life, she does her best to immerse herself in the joys of Finn’s childhood and the rhythms of her new job at The Irish Observer.

It’s a small island, though, and just as quickly as they disappeared, figures from the sisters’ past surface to drag them back into the conflict. Tessa is told she must track down her old handler from MI5, Eamonn, and attempt to turn him into an IRA informant, or lose everything.

Tessa’s reunion with Eamonn revives a host of feelings she has long attempted to bury. As their relationship intensifies and the pressure mounts, long-held secrets rise to the surface, and Tessa must navigate a treacherous landscape of shifting loyalties, all while trying to protect her beloved son.

With her signature hair-raising suspense, razor-sharp prose, and rich emotional depth, Edgar Award winner Berry has crafted both an unforgettable portrait of two fierce women in the Daly sisters and her most spellbinding thriller to date.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Nothing short of thrilling . . . [Berry's] crisp prose, artful plotting and short chapters make for another thrilling read . . . Berry tackles both the mundane and the extraordinary equally well, with perfect pacing throughout.”—BookPage (starred review)

“The author continues to interrogate the lasting, and live, impact of centuries of colonialism and violence on contemporary lives . . . A meditation on generational trauma—along with well-scripted action and suspense.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“By so delicately humanizing the complex scope of Ireland’s troubled history, Berry masterfully balances the lightning pace of a sweat-inducing thriller with the contemplative satisfaction of a cerebral analysis of uncertain family dynamics. With empathetic characters seen believably navigating unforeseen circumstances, the Edgar Award-winning Berry solidifies her burgeoning reputation as a stellar suspense writer.”—Booklist (starred review)

Exciting action, deep characters

I love this book and it’s prequel. So much deep emotional descriptiveness and great action and suspense. Relationship between sisters and
Mother/child are beautifully written. Fast paced, great writing!

Wowowwow! Brilliant and emotional

I hated to finish this novel. It was just as riveting as the first- Northern Spy. The story continues between these two sisters with deep emotional connections, betrayal and their will to survive.

The butchering of Irish names and words was so annoying!

The story was great but the narration was terrible. The narrator could not pronounce Irish names and Irish words. She pronounced “fàilte”
incorrectly, as well as the names, Saoirse, Lorcan and Eimear. Her accent was horrible. I wish the narrator was actually Irish.

Loved the characters and it kept me riveted throughout!

The narration is excellent and the main character, Tessa, and her sister, Marion, are interesting and given enough depth to really care about.
It was intense and kept me wondering what would happen up to the end. Highly recommended for thriller/suspense readers!

Great story

Glad to see the resolution for Tessa and Marion. Terrific characters, locations, and descriptions of characters and places.

Lovely conclusion to story of two sisters

This is so good. It was hard to turn it off. True, some of the pronunciations weren’t exactly right, but the performance was otherwise gripping. A wonderful, touching angle on a long and painful cultural-political history.
