For the first time on the Faber list, a new edition of John Banville's classic debut crime novel, as his Dublin-set series starring the Pathologist Quirke moves under his own name.
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW
'Absorbing' The Times
'Gripping' Scotsman
Quirke's pathology department, set deep beneath 1950s Dublin, is his own gloomy realm: always quiet, always night, and always under his control. Until, late one evening, he stumbles across a body that should not be there.
The investigation he opens 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 holds dear.
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
