A well-drawn atmosphere of menace lies over the holiday in San Sebastián of Dr Quirke, the Dublin coroner, and when it comes to a head there is a death in Spain and the end of a cabinet minister’s career in Dublin. This is the second of John Banville’s novels set in the late 1950s and featuring Detective Inspector Strafford.
