The man and woman who find themselves bound together are from two different worlds. Nora is an American, married, pregnant, leading the most ordinary middle-class life until, one day, she finds her husband in the arms of another woman - and explodes out of her house, out of Boston, headed for an Irish countryside she long ago fell in love with, intending to walk across the open green fields where she will decide how her life is to proceed. But on the way, waiting in a clinic in Northern Ireland, contemplating an abortion, she hears a woman screaming in the street. A mammoth bomb has exploded.
Immediately, instinctively, Nora comes to the aid of a wounded man, a British soldier. And from that moment everything spirals out of control. Suddenly Nora is on the run, in the middle of someone else's nightmare - her pursuers are revealed as British Intelligence, and the anonymous wounded Brit as a man with a past, a personality, a direction, an importance, a name - and an adversary - of his own. What follows through eight terrifying days is a chase in the grand manner - his life in her hands, her life upended - culminating in a daring night crossing of the Irish Sea to Scotland and to the moment of truth.
Fleeing back to Ireland after the disintegration of her marriage, a pregnant Nora Andrews heads to a clinic in Northern Ireland to consider an abortion, only to become caught up in a terrorist bombing after innocently giving comfort to a wounded British soldier and on the run. By the author of The Cliff Walk. 20,000 first printing.
