Quirke - he has but the one name - is a consultant pathologist. After a hospital party he staggers back to the morgue and finds a body that shouldn't be there and his brother-in-law, an eminent obstetrician, altering a file to cover up the real cause of death. It's a discovery that will lead to more death and a secret which has been poisoning the heart of Dublin's Catholic hierarchy.
