Nora Costello, the wife of Johnny Costello. a jailed IRA leader, finds herself trapped between the schemes of the police, the demands of the IRA, and her own desire for a better future with the man for whom she had a youthful passion and who suddenly conies back into her life. Yet the narrow streets of Belfast impose their own morality on her as the wife of an imprisoned IRA leader and the police plot to use Nora's personal dilemma to their own advantage in a deadly game of blackmail and death. The Prisoner's Wife is a powerful story of a love-affair entangled in the dangerous web of Belfast's para- military underworld where betrayal, or suspected betrayal, is treated without mercy.
