1950s Dublin. When a body is found in the canal, pathologist Quirke and his detective friend Inspector Hackett must uncover 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 Hacketts investigation leads them into the dark heart of the organisation that really runs this troubled city: the Church. Meanwhile, Quirkes daughter Phoebe realises she is being followed; and when Quirkes terrible childhood in a priest-run orphanage returns to haunt him, he will face his greatest trial yet . . .<
