When the body of his daughter’s friend is brought to his autopsy table, Quirke is plunged into a world of corruption that takes him to the darkest corners of the Catholic Church, in one of The Wall Street Journal’s “Ten Best Mysteries of the Year.”

1950s Dublin. A battered body discovered floating in a canal is quickly identified as Jimmy Minor, an up-and-coming investigative journalist for the Clarion and a good friend to Phoebe, the daughter of pathologist Quirke.

Determined to find Jimmy’s killer, Quirke enlists his sometime partner, Inspector Hackett. As they dig deeper into the stories Jimmy was pursuing and the secrets he was poised to reveal, and Quirke is haunted by the memories of his own grim childhood in a priest-run orphanage, the two men will see just how far the Church and its supporters will go to protect their own interests.

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Co.

Recensioni della critica

“Dalton's soul-stirring Shakespearean intonation was ideal for earlier books in the series, as they largely were told from the point of view of the protagonist Quirke, a brooding, alcoholic pathologist. But with that perspective subsequently having been paired with the additional perspective of Quirke's daughter, Phoebe, I now realize John Keating – who most recently read Black's ‘A Death in Summer' – is perfect for these alternating voices.” —The Star-Ledger
