Quirke en San Sebastián

Dragged by his vital wife Evelyn to a vacation in San Sebastian, pathologist Quirke soon stops missing gloomy and gloomy Dublin to start enjoying walks, good weather, sea and txakoli. However, all this calm and hedonism is disturbed when a somewhat ridiculous accident takes him to a city hospital. In it, he meets an Irish woman who is strangely familiar to him, until he finally believes he recognizes in her an unfortunate young woman, a friend of his daughter Phoebe. If memory, or alcohol abuse, does not play a trick on him, it would be April Latimer, allegedly murdered #although her body was never found # by her disturbed brother in the course of a sordid investigation in which Quirke himself he was involved years ago. Convinced that he has not seen a ghost, he urges Phoebe to visit the Basque Country to clear up any doubts. What Quirke ignores is that he will be accompanied by Inspector Strafford, for whom he has a sharp antipathy, and that, furthermore, a very peculiar hitman will undertake the same journey.
