‘Absorbing, atmospheric’ Guardian
‘A romp of a read, a compelling fix’ Scotsman
In 1950s Dublin, world-weary pathologist Quirke is reckoning with grief. A woman he loved has died, a man he once admired is dying, and his daughter is still finding it hard to accept him as her father.
When an old acquaintance approaches him about his wife’s apparent suicide, Quirke recognizes trouble. But, as always, trouble is something he cannot resist.
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
