On the east coast of Ireland, one of the country's most prominent citizens takes his business partner's son out sailing and, while out at sea, shoots himself dead. This strange, enigmatic event captures the attention of pathologist Quirke who begins to investigate.

When a second death occurs, one even more shocking than the first, Quirke uncovers dark secrets buried in a rivalry between two entangled families.

Praise for the Quirke Series:
'A joy to read.' Sunday Times
'Darkly dangerous [with] flinty humour.' Daily Telegraph
'Beguiling characters and evocative settings . . . Impeccable.' The Times
