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
