The Drowned

He had seen drowned people. A sight not to be forgotten. 1950s, rural Ireland. A loner comes across a mysteriously empty car in a field. Knowing he shouldn?t approach, but unable to hold back, he soon finds himself embroiled in a troubling missing person?s case, as a husband claims his wife may have thrown herself into the sea. Called in from Dublin to investigate is Detective Inspector Strafford, who soon turns to his old ally ? the flawed but brilliant pathologist Quirke ? a man he is linked to in increasingly complicated ways.
