About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Even the Dead by Benjamin Black.

Down among the dead men...

Pathologist Quirke works in the city morgue, watching over Dublin's dead. The latest to join their ghostly ranks is a suicide. But something doesn't add up. The victim has a suspicious head wound, and the only witness has vanished, every trace of her wiped away.

On the trail of the missing woman, Quirke finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of Dublin's elite - secret societies, High Church politics and corrupt politicians. It leads him to a long-buried conspiracy that involves his own family. But it's too late to go back now....

The dead will be heard.

Wonderful

A terrific conclusion to the Quirke stories. a masterful performance by the narrator. And many thanks to the author John banville for illuminating the horror show that was and is the Catholic Church and Ireland. All true which is horrifying.

Sean Barrett is the best

I found this book average. Thank goodness for Sean. He is terrific at performing. The story is ordinary. Well perhaps not terrible but not brilliant either.
