April In Spain

John Banville Faber £14.99

Banville has set aside his Benjamin Black pseudonym for this latest subtle and atmospheric thriller to feature Dublin pathologist Quirke. On holiday in San Sebastián, Quirke sees a young woman he’d believed dead. This chance encounter opens a can of worms with its roots in Irish politics, and sets in motion a deadly game. A novel as languorous as a hot Spanish afternoon before the sudden plunge into the darkness of night.
