NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST MYSTERIES OF THE YEAR BY "THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL."
The latest Quirke case opens in Dublin at a moment when newspapers
are censored, social conventions are strictly defined, and
appalling crimes are hushed up. Why? Because in 1950s Ireland, the
Catholic Church controls the lives of nearly everyone. But when
Quirke's daughter, Phoebe, loses her close friend Jimmy Minor to
murder, Quirke can no longer play by the church's rules. Along with
Inspector Hackett, his sometime partner, Quirke learns just how far
the church and its supporters will go to protect their own
interests.
In "Holy Orders," Benjamin Black's inimitable creation, the
endlessly curious Quirke brings a pathologist's unique
understanding of death to unlock the most dangerous of
secrets.
