Quirke is a powerful character more at ease among the cold silent slabs than the company of his fellow men. But in truth, his profession provides his greatest pleasure: inquisitive by nature, he is fascinated with unlocking the secret to these deaths. After a body vanishes from his mortuary one night Quirke curiosity is piqued by the lengths his brother is prepared to go to, to cover up the cause of one young womans death in childbirth. As Quirke turns accidental detective, he delves deep into the secrets of Dublin, and discovers his investigations are more closely linked to his own life than he could ever have imagined.
