When spring storms descend on 1950s Dublin, a body is found in a canal, and pathologist Quirke must find the truth behind this brutal murder. The investigation leads him into the dark heart of the organisation that really runs this troubled city: the church.

As Quirke's traumatic childhood in a priest-run orphanage returns to haunt him, he must face his greatest trial yet.
