Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The second novel featuring the world-weary Dublin pathologist Quirke, first encountered in "Christine Falls". Written under a pseudonym by the Man Booker Prize winning author of "The Sea", John Banville. It's the middle of the 1950s, and Quirke investigates the apparent suicide of his old friend Billy Hunt's wife. Will appeal to fans of Ian Rankin and Peter Temple.

Publisher's description:

Time has moved on for Quirke. A woman he loved has died, a man whom he once admired is dying, while the daughter he for so long denied is still finding it hard to accept him as her father. When Billy Hunt, an acquaintance from college days, approaches him about his wife's apparent suicide, Quirke recognises trouble.
