"The Drowned: A Strafford and Quirke Murder Mystery"
"He had seen drowned people. A sight not to be forgotten."
Set in 1950s rural Ireland, The Drowned follows a chilling mystery that begins with a lone wanderer stumbling upon an abandoned car in a field.
Despite his instincts, he investigates further and soon becomes entangled in a disturbing missing person case: a husband claims his wife may have thrown herself into the sea.
Called in from Dublin, Detective Inspector Strafford takes charge of the investigation and seeks the expertise of his complex ally, the brilliant yet troubled pathologist Quirke.
In The Drowned: A Strafford and Quirke Murder Mystery, author John Banville presents a masterfully woven tale of suspense, filled with atmospheric settings, layered characters, and a gripping narrative.
This latest addition to the Strafford and Quirke series delves into the dark secrets and intricate relationships that define their partnership, offering readers a compelling blend of crime fiction and psychological depth. - About The Author
