It's the year 2000. A lone bomber cons his way into the old London Stock Exchange Tower in Threadneedle Street - no warning given. No explanation. The man makes no attempt at escape. Holds out his wrists for the handcuffs and says just one word - 'Guilty.' It's all he will say: under interrogation; in court. Background media searches turn up frustratingly little. The tabloids refer to him as The Man Without A Past. But there is a past, and one woman, the narrator, knows it; going right back to schooldays in Devon and squalid student squats in 1970s London. Her career as a documentary film-maker benefits from their dangerous mutual trust that takes her from terrifying, sectarian Belfast to Middle Eastern hot spots, but wrecks both her two marriages. And there is one even more alarming secret that threatens both her career and her family. Even from within a maximum-security prison the ties that bind this dysfunctional couple are reaching out to a new generation.
