- Synopsis:
- Quirke is the chief pathologist in the Dublin city morgue - a charismatic loner whose job takes him into fascinating places as he investigates sudden death in 1950s Dublin. His pleasures in life are raw and deep, a drink, a smoke, good food, a woman. One woman in particular - his adoptive brother's wife Sarah - and the forbidden love that has shaped and dominated Quirke's life. Adapted from the novels by John Banville writing as Benjamin Black, the three feature length films - 'Christine Falls', 'The Silver Swan' and 'Elegy for April' - reveal the tangled truth about Quirke's living family, even as he uncovers the secrets of the Dublin dead.
