Flynn Berry's thriller follows Tessa, a producer at the Belfast bureau of the BBC, and her sister Marian in the wake of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
The two sisters have been brought up to raise radical republicanism and Tessa is shocked when she learns of Marian's involvement in an IRA robbery of a gas station during a BBC News broadcast.
Convinced that her sister has not turned towards terrorism, Tessa hunts for the truth behind her involvement in the robbery and discovers a far more shocking explanation.
"The story felt urgent and contemporary," Flynn Berry said. "We're all living against a backdrop of changing threat levels."
"Northern Spy" is available as a hard copy or e-book on most online bookshops.
