Synopsis
Fresh off his Man Booker prize-winning THE SEA, John Banville has donned the pseudonym of Benjamin Black and dipped into the dark waters of crime fiction. His protagonist is a Dublin pathologist named Quirke who, in the aftermath of his wife's death, has become a mournful drunk. His wife's side of the family comes from an elite Catholic society, its ranks filled with doctors and judges, but when Quirke discovers his brother-in-law Malachy altering the cause of death on the corpse of a young woman, he begins to discover the seedy underbelly of Dublin's upper class. Black writes with a grisly cold-hearted brilliance, and the novel reveals itself with the same chilling precision of a masterfully performed autopsy.
