FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW
'Stunning' Independent
'Impressive' Irish Times
When spring storms descend on 1950s Dublin, a body is found in a canal, and pathologist Quirke must find the truth behind this brutal murder. The investigation leads him into the dark heart of the organisation that really runs this troubled city: the church.
As Quirke's traumatic childhood in a priest-run orphanage returns to haunt him, he must face his greatest trial yet.
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
