She looked at him and smiled sadly. `You've lived too long among
the dead, Quirke,' she said. He nodded. `Yes, I suppose I have.'
She was not the first one to have told him that, and she would not
be the last. 1950s Dublin. When a body is found in the canal,
pathologist Quirke and his detective friend Inspector Hackett must
find the truth behind this brutal murder. But in a world where the
police are not trusted and secrets often remain buried there is
perhaps little hope of bringing the perpetrator to justice. As
spring storms descend on Dublin, Quirke and Hackett's investigation
will lead them into the dark heart of the organisation that really
runs this troubled city: the church. Meanwhile Quirke's daughter
Phoebe realises she is being followed; and when Quirke's terrible
childhood in a priest-run orphanage returns to haunt him, he will
face his greatest trial yet . . .
