Sara Pierson is a dedicated FBI agent, living and breathing her job. When a seven year old boy is kidnapped she pledges that the boy will see his mother's face again. She never expects the twists and turns the case provides, complicating things and making her job that much harder. Nora de Burgh is an Irish terrorist, in an American prison, with a long-ago tie to the boy's father. She has vowed to take her revenge - that the man is now a diplomat certainly complicates everything about the case. It's apparent that Nora has information that Sara needs from their first meeting - contacts in the Irish-American underworld, a culture that never forgets their history of hate and pain. Who are the good guys in the world of international politics? It's hard to tell and Sara begins to learn that fact the hard way. In order to find the boy and keep her promise, she must learn to trust a terrorist and along the way she learns that her black and white world has room for shades of gray. From Ireland to America and back again...both women find that the echoes of the past sometimes find the present.
