When the body of his daughters friend is brought to his autopsy table, Quirke is plunged into a world of corruption that takes him to the darkest corners of the Irish Church and State.At first they thought it was the body of a child. Later, when they got it out of the water and saw the pubic hair and the nicotine stains on the fingers, they realized their mistake.So begins Holy Orders, the latest Quirke case set 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 Quirkes daughter Phoebe loses her close friend Jimmy Minor to murder, Quirke can no longer play by the Churchs rules. Along with Inspector Hackett, his sometime partner, Quirke investigates Jimmys death and learns just how far the Church and its supporters will go to protect their own interests.Haunting, fierce, and brilliantly plotted, this is Benjamin Black writing at the top of his form. His inimitable creation, the endlessly curious Quirke, brings a pathologists unique understanding of death to unlock the most dangerous of secrets.
