2921 6e91870f-8859-48b3-883e-da6117b23c6e Christine Falls Benjamin Black calibre (0.7.35) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2008-01-22T05:00:00+00:00 SUMMARY: The hero of Christine Falls, Quirke, is a surly pathologist living in 1950s Dublin. One night, after having a few drinks at a party, he returns to the morgue to find his brother-in-law tampering with the records on a young woman's corpse. The next morning, when his hangover has worn off, Quirke reluctantly begins looking into the woman's history. He discovers a plot that spans two continents, implicates the Catholic Church, and may just involve members of his own family. He is warned-first subtly, then with violence-to lay off, but Quirke is a stubborn man. The first novel in the Quirke series brings all the vividness and psychological insight of John Banville's writing to the dark, menacing atmosphere of a first-class thriller.
