IRISH INDEPENDENTThe sumptuous, propulsive, sun-kissed follow up to the bestselling Snow, from the Booker Prize winning author.'He wanted to know who she was, and why he was convinced he had some unremembered connection with her.

Could she really be who he thinks she is, and have a connection with a crime that nearly brought ruin to an Irish political dynasty?Unable to ignore his instincts, Quirke makes a call back home and Detective St John Strafford is soon dispatched to Spain. But he's not the only one on route: as a terrifying hitman hunts down his prey, they are all set for a brutal showdown.Praise for Snow:'Superb ... crime fiction for the connoisseur.'
