�John Banville/Benjamin Black es un maestro y su prosa es un deleite incesante�. -- Martin Amis 1945: la guerra ha terminado y algunos alemanes deben huir del pa�s. Tras un viaje agotador, un hombre llega a un antiguo monasterio franciscano que se alza frente a los Dolomitas. All� hallar� refugio y tambi�n sellar� un pacto. M�s de una d�cada despu�s, el doctor Quirke es �un animal herido� que se ha mudado a casa de su hija Phoebe tras la tr�gica muerte de su mujer. Cuando en un garaje de Dubl�n aparece el cad�ver de la joven estudiante jud�a Rosa Jacobs, todo parece apuntar a un suicidio, pero Quirke y el inspector Strafford --que se enfrentan a su primer caso juntos-- sospechan que se trata de un crimen, al igual que la hermana de la v�ctima, una periodista que se une a la b�squeda de la verdad y zarandea el coraz�n del pat�logo. Mientras las relaciones entre los dos investigadores se vuelven cada vez m�s tensas, el misterio se agudiza cuando descubren los v�nculos de Rosa con el hijo de una acaudalada familia alemana que se mud� al condado de Wicklow tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial y tiene negocios en Israel. �Podr�n unir las piezas del rompecabezas oculto? �Soberbio e impactante [...]. M�s que un toque de genialidad�. - The Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION NATIONAL BESTSELLER A New York Times Editors' Choice Booker Prize winner and "Irish master" (The New Yorker) John Banville's most ambitious crime novel yet brings two detectives together to solve a globe-spanning mystery. In 1950s Dublin, Rosa Jacobs, a young history scholar, is found dead in her car. Renowned pathologist Dr. Quirke and DI St. John Strafford begin to investigate the death as a murder, but it's the victim's older sister Molly, an established journalist, who discovers a lead that could crack open the case. One of Rosa's friends, it turns out, is from a powerful German family that arrived in Ireland under mysterious circumstances shortly after World War II. But as Quirke and Strafford close in, their personal lives may put the case--and everyone involved--in peril, including Quirke's own daughter. Spanning the mountaintops of Italy, the front lines of World War II Bavaria, the gritty streets of Dublin and other unexpected locales, The Lock-Up is an ambitious and arresting mystery by one of the world's most celebrated authors.
