Quirke (series)

The Quirke series of crime novels, written by Irish novelist John Banville under the pen name Benjamin Black, centers on the titular character, a pathologist in 1950s Dublin. The series is published by Henry Holt & Co. in the U.S. The first novel, Christine Falls, was first released by Picador in the U.K. in 2006; it was published in the U.S. a year later.

Banville has stated that he drew from his experiences growing up in Dublin to inform the Quirke series:

A three-part miniseries based on the novels stars Gabriel Byrne as Quirke. The series first aired on RTÉ One in Ireland in early 2014.
