Description
He had seen drowned people. A sight not to be forgotten.
1950s, rural Ireland. A local loner comes across a mysteriously empty car in a field. Knowing he shouldn’t approach, but unable to hold back, he soon finds himself embroiled in a troubling missing person’s case, as a husband claims his wife has thrown herself into the sea . . .
Called in from Dublin to investigate is Detective Inspector Strafford, who soon turns to his old ally – the flawed but brilliant pathologist Quirke – to help solve him the case.
