Publisher's Synopsis
Tessa, a BBC producer, is at work one day when the news of another raid comes on the air. The IRA may have gone underground after the Good Friday agreement, but they never really went away, and lately, bomb threats, arms drops, and helicopters floating ominously over Belfast have become features of everyday life. As the anchor requests the public's help in locating those responsible for this latest raid, Tessa's sister appears on the screen. The police believe Marian has joined the IRA, but Tessa knows this is impossible. They were raised to oppose Republicanism. And besides, Marian is vacationing by the sea. Tessa will be forced to choose: between her ideals and her family, between bystanderism and action.
