Description
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW
'Absorbing' The Times
'Gripping' Scotsman
Christine Falls takes readers into Quirke's pathology department, set deep beneath 1950s Dublin. This is his own gloomy realm: always quiet, always night, and always under his control. That is, until one evening when he stumbles across a body that should not be there.
The investigation he initiates uncovers a dark secret at the heart of the city's high Catholic network—a secret with the power to shake his own family and everything he cherishes.
Praise for the Quirke Series:
'A joy to read.' Sunday Times
'Darkly dangerous [with] flinty humour.' Daily Telegraph
'Beguiling characters and evocative settings . . . Impeccable.' The Times
