Las hermanas Jacobs

Las hermanas Jacobs

Black, Benjamin

1945: The war is over, and some Germans must flee the country. After an exhausting journey, a man arrives at an ancient Franciscan monastery overlooking the Dolomites. There he will find refuge and also seal a pact. More than a decade later, Dr. Quirke is "a wounded animal" who has moved in with his daughter Phoebe after the tragic death of his wife. When the body of the young Jewish student Rosa Jacobs is found in a Dublin garage, everything seems to point to suicide, but Quirke and Inspector Strafford -who are facing their first case together- suspect that it is a crime, as well as than the victim's sister, a journalist who joins the search for the truth and shakes the pathologist's heart. As relations between the two investigators become increasingly tense, the mystery deepens when they discover Rosa's links to the son of a wealthy German family who moved to County Wicklow after the Second World War and has business in Israel. Can they put the pieces of the hidden puzzle together?
