A Death in Summer

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF SNOW
'Banville is one of my favourite writers alive.' REBECCA F. KUANG
'More than a touch of genius.' THE TIMES

Newspaper magnate Richard Jewell is found dead at his country estate, a shotgun still in his hands. Few see his demise as cause for sorrow, but before long, Quirke realizes that, rather than the suspected suicide, 'Diamond Dick' has been murdered.

Suspicion soon falls on one of Jewell's biggest rivals, but as Quirke gets to know Jewell's beautiful, enigmatic wife, his fragile sister and those who work for the family, it becomes clear that not everything in this household is as it seems.

Praise for the Quirke Series:
'A joy to read.' Sunday Times
'Darkly dangerous [with] flinty humour.' Daily Telegraph
'Beguiling characters and evocative settings . Impeccable.' The Times
