In una giornata serena, adatta per andare in barca a vela, Victor Delahaye, importante uomo d'affari irlandese, decide di uscire in mare insieme al giovane figlio del suo socio. Ma giunti al largo, Victor si uccide davanti al ragazzo. Questo è quanto racconta lui, unico testimone. Il caso scottante è affidato all’ispettore Hackett e a Quirke, l’anatomopatologo disincantato e malinconico. Il caso si complica con un'altra morte violenta. Incidente o suicidio? Un altro thriller magnifico di Banville, grande autore di noir. These books are so atmospheric, rain and whisky, coffee shops, boats, wet soft grass. This one has an intertwined pair of families, brought together by business, starts out with suicide, takes in a murder, has the obligatory wrong woman for Quirk to sleep with... nicely done but they are starting to feel a little formulaic now. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"It's a fine day for a sail, and Victor Delahaye, one of Ireland's most successful businessmen, takes his boat far out to sea. With him is his partner's son--who becomes the sole witness when Delahaye produces a pistol, points it at his own chest, and fires. This mysterious death immediately engages the attention of Detective Inspector Hackett, who in turn calls upon the services of his sometime partner Quirke, consultant pathologist at the Hospital of the Holy Family. The stakes are high: Delahaye's prominence in business circles means that Hackett and Quirke must proceed very carefully."--Provided by publisher. No library descriptions found. |

Los Delahaye y los Clancy comparten una historia de alianza y ambición que pasa de padres a hijos. Y ahora, también de muerte y preguntas sin respuesta: ¿Por qué Victor Delahaye iba a necesitar a un testigo para suicidarse? El doctor Quirke y su amigo el inspector Hackett interrogan a los miembros de ambas familias: Mona Delahaye, la joven y embriagadora viuda; James y Jonas Delahaye, los desconcertantes hijos gemelos; Jack Clancy, el mujeriego socio, y su hijo Davy. Sin embargo, cuando una nueva muerte —aún más sorprendente que la primera— los golpea a todos, resulta obvio que algún terrible secreto está en juego
