FROM THE BACK COVER:
In the Pathology Department it was always night. This was one of the things Ouirke 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 acient practices, secret skills,of work too dark to be carried on up in the light.
But late one night, 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 has encountered 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 network,a secret ready to destabilize the very heart of Quirke's own family....
