Black's second thriller is set in 1950s Dublin, a corrupt time when Irish society was firmly in the grip of the Catholic church. When we re-encounter the world-weary pathologist Quirke, he is submerged in grief for the woman he loved, anticipating the death of a man he once admired, and struggling with his relationship with the daughter he for so long denied. His interest is awakened, however, by what looks like the suicide of the wife of an old acquaintance, and his troubles intensify from there...
