A pregnant Irish schoolgirl is exiled to England, forced by nuns to give up the life growing inside her. Sixty-five years later, the body of former British spy Ruth Hackman is found in woodland. What's the link? Was she murdered and if so, by whom - and why?

This riddle confronts actor and one-time TV detective Robert Mylius when DNA reveals Ruth was his unknown sister. The story he uncovers is no television drama, it's a deadly political conspiracy across Europe, America and war-ravaged Afghanistan.

There is no script - the blood is real and those who die, stay dead...

Seed, Geoffrey: - "TV journalist Geoffrey Seed produced investigations for BBC Panorama, World in Action, ITV and Channel 4. These included terrorism in Northern Ireland, Soviet human rights abuses, cocaine smuggling, torture in southern Africa, Balkan assassinations and MI5 spying on domestic targets. Special Branch investigated him twice under the Official Secrets Act and also detained him under the Prevention of Terrorism Act - simply for doing his job. Scrapes like these, plus having operated in many bumpy places, give his novels real life authenticity beyond simple research. It was to be closer to their daughter and son that he and wife, Ann, moved from mid Wales to Chichester, West Sussex. Much of their week is now devoted to grandchildren for whom he makes toys and has required them to support Manchester City - his home town team. He'll not see seventy again but if the gods allow, he might soon make a start on a sixth book before it's too late. Carpe diem and all that."
