Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Even the Dead by John Banville. Quirke may have spent too many years among the dead. Recently, the Irish pathologist has been plagued by hallucinations and blackouts, and he worries they signal a brain tumor. A specialist instead traces the symptoms to an old head injury from a brutal beating and prescribes rest—but Quirke has no intention of stepping away from life.
During a sweltering June night, a car slams into a tree in central Dublin and erupts in flames. The police are quick to call it an accident or suicide, but Quirke’s examination suggests something far more troubling. Soon after, his daughter Phoebe is approached by a frightened pregnant woman who claims her life is in danger, though she can’t explain why. When the woman vanishes, Phoebe turns to her father, and Quirke brings in his longtime ally, Inspector Hackett.
Together, they follow a trail of secrets that leads them into a murky underworld where one of Dublin’s most influential men hides behind politics and religion to amass illicit wealth.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Final Problem by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. In June 1960, a violent storm at sea leaves a group of travelers stranded on the serene Greek island of Utakos, all staying at the island’s only hotel. Their peaceful retreat is shattered when Edith Mander, a quiet British tourist, is discovered dead in a beach cabana. What initially looks like a straightforward suicide begins to suggest something more sinister to Ormond Basil, a once-famous actor known for playing the world’s greatest detective. The other guests, familiar with his on-screen brilliance as Sherlock Holmes, quickly assume he’s the ideal person to unravel this classic locked-room mystery.
This sharp, inventive novel from internationally bestselling author Arturo Pérez-Reverte pays homage to the golden age of detective fiction. The Final Problem explores the dynamic between investigator and suspects, and between storyteller and reader—with a final twist that will satisfy even the most seasoned mystery fan.
