Description: | Select Guide Rating The latest compelling Quirke Dublin mystery <p><i>She looked at him and smiled sadly. ‘You’ve lived too long among the dead, Quirke,’ she said. </i><br><br> <i>He nodded. ‘Yes, I suppose I have.’ She was not the first one to have told him that, and she would not be the last. </i><br><br> 1950s Dublin. When a body is found in the canal, pathologist Quirke and his detective friend Inspector Hackett must find the truth behind this brutal murder. But in a world where the police are not trusted and secrets often remain buried there is perhaps little hope of bringing the perpetrator to justice.<br><br> As spring storms descend on Dublin, Quirke and Hackett’s investigation will lead them into the dark heart of the organisation that really runs this troubled city: the church. Meanwhile Quirke’s daughter Phoebe realises she is being followed; and when Quirke’s terrible childhood in a priest-run orphanage returns to haunt him, he will face his greatest trial yet . . .</p> |
