A new thriller from the Booker Prize-winning and Edgar Award-nominated author Benjamin Black. It has been two years since the events of Christine Falls, the bestselling novel that introduced the world to an irascible Dublin pathologist named Quirke. Quirke's beloved Sarah has died, his surrogate father lies paralyzed by a stroke, and he’s been sober for half a year. When a near-forgotten acquaintance asks him to cover up his beautiful young wife’s apparent suicide, Quirke knows he should stay clear. But his old itch is irresistible, and before long he is probing further, into a web of drugs and illicit sex that may have snared his own daughter, Phoebe. Black creates a vivid, intense evocation of 1950s Dublin, and an intricate, psychologically complex storyline.
