Skylark is an activist, a raver, a tree-dweller, a world-changer. Handsome, dependable Dan appears on the scene, offering her the security she has never had. When they fall in love, she shows him a new way to live; he will never be the same. But Dan has a secret, which Skylark must never, ever know. A secret so powerful that its fault-lines run from their ordinary council flat right up to the highest echelons of the state. Their story is the story of Britain' s undercover police. As Skylark comes to doubt not only Dan' s commitment to their shared ideals, but his very identity, she finds herself asking: can you ever really know the person you love?
