Northern Spy, Berry - B-

    This novel is set in Northern Ireland and features two sisters, Tessa and Marian Daly. Tessa, a BBC producer, sees her sister on tv participating in an IRA robbery. Marian convinces her that she is now an informer and recruits Tessa to act as her intermediary with the police authorities. The IRA later asks Tessa to act as a scout. This novel has been praised, but too many of the plot points are not very believable.  That said, it's pretty good on the tensions and hatred that are part and parcel of life in the north.
