About this product
Product Information
NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST MYSTERIES OF THE YEAR BY THE WALL STREET JOURNAL . The latest Quirke case opens in Dublin at a moment when newspapers are censored, social conventions are strictly defined, and appalling crimes are hushed up. Why? Because in 1950s Ireland, the Catholic Church controls the lives of nearly everyone. But when Quirke's daughter, Phoebe, loses her close friend Jimmy Minor to murder, Quirke can no longer play by the church's rules. Along with Inspector Hackett, his sometime partner, Quirke learns just how far the church and its supporters will go to protect their own interests. In Holy Orders , Benjamin Black's inimitable creation, the endlessly curious Quirke brings a pathologist's unique understanding of death to unlock the most dangerous of secrets.

"Banville is arguably one of the finest prose stylists writing in English today. His desire to engage with what we too often treat, derisively, as 'genre fiction' is always welcome.

Initially a little reluctant to order a book from overseas, my experience was excellent. Prompt despatch, clear communication as to the progress of the delivery, and arrived on time as advised by the seller. The book itself is in mint condition so it is excellent value for money. I have no hesitation in recommending this vendor who provides a first class service.
