Description
In the early 1950s, a young woman's body is discovered in a Dublin lock-up garage, initially thought to be a suicide. However, pathologist Dr Quirke and Detective Inspector Strafford suspect foul play. As they investigate, the victim's sister, a London-based newspaper reporter, returns to Dublin to assist in the inquiry. Her connections to a wealthy German family in County Wicklow and potential investigative work in Israel add layers to the case, leading the two men on a complex journey to uncover the truth.
