When newspaper tycoon Richard Jewel turns up dead in his country house one hot summer morning, few mourn. Dr Quirke and Inspector Hackett soon realise that, far from a possible suicide, "Diamond Dick" has been murdered. The investigation leads Quirke to St. Christopher's orphanage, where he spent his childhood, and to the troubled Dannie, Jewell's troubled sister/ Carlton Sumner, the rival businessman, and Françoise d'Aubigny, the elegant and mysterious widow. After the success of In Search of April, chosen as one of the best novels of the year (Qué Leer), Benjamin Black creates a new and exciting intrigue that shows us a Quirke more intimate and confused than ever against the backdrop of Dublin in the 1950s.
