About this listen

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

As a deep, bewildering fog cloaks Dublin, a young woman named April is found to have vanished. Flawed pathologist Quirke responds to a request to help find her. Speaking with those who knew her, he begins to realize that there may have been more behind the young woman's secrecy than he could have imagined.

When a disturbing discovery is made, the complex web of love, lies, jealousy and dark secrets that April spun her life from finally begins to unravel.
