The Sunday Times bestselling author of Snow and April in Spain is back, as Strafford and Quirke return with their most troubling case yet.
1950s Dublin, in a lock-up garage in the city the body of a young woman is discovered, an apparent suicide. But
pathologist Dr Quirke and Detective Inspector Strafford soon suspect foul play.
The victim's sister, a newspaper reporter from London, returns to Dublin to join the two men in their quest to uncover the
truth. But, as they explore her links to a wealthy German family in County Wicklow, and to investigative work she may
have been doing in Israel, they are confronted with an ever-deepening mystery. With relations between the two men
increasingly strained, and their investigation taking them back to the final days of the Second World War, can they join the
pieces of a hidden puzzle?
