???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.
