In 1950s Dublin, the body of a young woman is found in a garage, and what seemed like suicide turns out to be a possible murder. Pathologist Quirke and Inspector Strafford investigate with the victim's sister, a London journalist. The clues lead to a German family, a possible job in Israel, and the end of the Second World War.
The work belongs to the Quirke series, of which it is the ninth installment; the subtitle on the cover is A Strafford & Quirke Mystery.
For those who follow John Banville's Quirke series and for fans of crime and historical fiction set in 1950s Ireland.
