'Unbearably tense'Daily Telegraph
'While her husband prepared to murder a young man he had never met, Bridget O'Neill completed her packing for Christmas with her in-laws.'
Francis O'Neill is a terrorist, trained to kill for his cause. Bridget is his wife, expected to be loyal and stand by her husband. She has learned not to hope for much more, until the day she glimpses, for the first time, the chance of a new life. A life without violence, without secrets, and without knocks on the door in the dead of night. A life without her husband.
But what if freedom for Bridget means grave danger for Francis?
InA Traitor in the Family, bestselling author, Nicholas Searle, tells a story of shocking, intimate betrayal. Can a treacherous act of the most personal kind ever be, in this darkly violent world, an act of mercy?

Recenzii
In
its
subtletyit
reminded
me
strongly
of
John
le
Carré's
wonderfulA
Small
Town
in
Germany,
which
also
brought
home
the
delicate
confusions
that
lie
at
the
heart
of
those
who
work
in
the
shadow
of
treachery.
This
is
high
praise
Unbearably tense... this is a snapshot of the real world from a man who has lived it
The follow-up to Searle's acclaimed 2015 debutThe Good Liar, and the technical aspects of thriller writing are well handled asthe tension builds on both sides
[A]tale of sordid compromises and agonising choices... beneath the betrayals and violence Searle's antihero's dilemma unleashes lies a moral message: even the hardest heart is made vulnerable by love'
The Good Liarwas excellent butthis book feels more personal and is even better
Morally chewy and unbearably tense
This is one of those thrillers whose thrills come not just from a fast-paced plot, but also from the fact that we're being given privileged access to a hidden world
A taut, compulsive thriller with a dark, intriguing heart. A Mr Ripley for our time
A part-thriller, part-human condition novel that packs a tremendous punch
Added to the fiendishly clever plot, Searle's writing is both drily amusing and elegantly crafted.An absolute treat of a book
An incredibly dark, taut thriller... Think of Ruth Rendell morphing into John le Carré
Searle shows a gift for complex plotting
Nicholas Searle drew on his own background in intelligence to portray an IRA terrorist and his wife forced into different types of betrayal
