## Description

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW ‘Absorbing’ The Times‘Gripping’ ScotsmanQuirke’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
