Overview'Northern Spain is southern Ireland,' she said. 'It rains all the time, everywhere is green, and everyone is Catholic. You will love it.' On the idyllic coast of San Sebastian, Spain, Dublin pathologist Quirke is struggling to relax - despite the beaches, the cafes and his disarmingly lovely wife. So when he glimpses a familiar face in the twilight at the bar Las Arcadas, it's hard, at first, to tell whether his imagination is just running away with him. Could she really be who he thinks she is, and have a connection with a crime that nearly brought ruin to an Irish political dynasty? Unable to ignore his instincts, Quirke makes a call back home and Detective St John Strafford is soon dispatched to Spain. But he's not the only one on route: as a terrifying hitman hunts down his prey, they are all set for a brutal showdown. 'Deeply atmospheric; forensically psychological.' - Mick Herron Full Product DetailsAuthor: John BanvillePublisher: Faber & Faber Imprint: Faber & Faber Edition: Export - Airside ed Dimensions: Width: 15.30cm , Height: 2.60cm , Length: 23.40cm Weight: 0.464kg ISBN: 9780571363599ISBN 10: 0571363598 Pages: 368 Publication Date: 07 October 2021 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
