About
In 1950s Dublin, pathologist–detective Quirke is haunted not so much by the dead as by the living, when he encounters the corpse of a mysterious woman named Christine Falls.
His investigation leads him into a tangled web of corruption, family secrets, and transatlantic deceit — forcing him to navigate the shadows of religion, hierarchy, and power in a city steeped in silence and complicity.
“Swirling, elegant noir … crossover fiction of a very high order.” The New York Times“The numerous characters are each distinct and credible, atmosphere fairly reeks from every page … the final outcome is bleak, creepy and almost unbearably moving.” The Guardian
“A page-turner told in prose so beautiful you’ll want to read some passages repeatedly.” The Boston Globe
