A Death in Sur

When a powerful newspaper magnate is found dead in his country estate, the scene looks like suicide — but something doesn’t add up. In A Death in Summer, pathologist-turned-investigator Quirke delves into Dublin’s elegant but shadowed upper class, uncovering a trail of secrets, deception, and quiet corruption. As the truth slowly surfaces, Quirke must face not only the darker sides of others, but also those within himself. With atmospheric prose and sharp psychological insight, Benjamin Black crafts a haunting literary mystery.
