Stella Rimington meets State of Play in this smart political thriller for a new generation of Le Carré fans.
SECRETS
1991, Belfast.
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, eighteen-year-old Maire must flee across the border alone, and start a
new life.
STATE
Present day, London.
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 co-ordinates 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!
