Lately the Irish pathologist has suffered hallucinations and blackouts, and he fears the cause is a brain tumor. A specialist diagnoses an old head injury caused by a savage beating; all that's needed, the doctor declares, is an extended rest. But Quirke, ever intent on finding his place among the living, is not about to retire. One night during a June heat wave, a car crashes into a tree in central Dublin and bursts into flames. The police assume the driver's death was either an accident or a suicide, but Quirke's examination of the body leads him to believe otherwise. Then his daughter Phoebe gets a mysterious visit from an acquaintance: the woman, who admits to being pregnant, says she fears for her life, though she won't say why. When the woman later disappears, Phoebe asks her father for help, and Quirke in turn seeks the assistance of his old friend Inspector Hackett. Before long the two men find themselves untangling a twisted string of events that takes them deep into a shadowy world where one of the city's most powerful men uses the cover of politics and religion to make obscene profits. In this enthralling book--his seventh novel featuring the endlessly fascinating Quirke--Benjamin Black has crafted a story of surpassing intensity and surprising beauty. 650 0 $a Pathologists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Dublin (Ireland) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01029788 650 7 $a Pathologists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054963 651 7 $a Ireland $z Dublin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205505 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 800 1 $a Black, Benjamin, $d 1945- $t Quirke novel. 941 $a 2 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20190223010459.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010011032.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D10BE4EACC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
