About This Item
New York: Henry Holt and Co, 2007-03-06. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Good. 6x1x9. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 340 pages; ex-library with usual markings, light edge wear to jacket and boards; This work is a compelling new crime series from the pen of Booker Prize winner John Banville. In the Pathology Department, it was always night. This was one of the things Quirke liked about his job...it was restful, cosy, one might almost say, down in these depths nearly two floors beneath the city's busy pavements. There was too a sense here of being part of the continuance of ancient practices, secret skills, of work too dark to be carried on up in the light. But one night, late after a party, Quirke stumbles across a body that shouldn't have been there...and his brother-in-law, eminent paediatrician Malachy Griffin - a rare sight in Quirke's gloomy domain - altering a file to cover up the corpse's cause of death. It is the first time Quirke encounters Christine Falls, but the investigation he decides to lead into the way she lived - and the reason she died - disturbs a dark secret that has been festering at the core of Dublin's high Catholic society, a secret ready to destablize the very heart and soul of Quirke's own family..
