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
