Banville continues to follow the exploits of Detective Inspector Strafford and pathologist Dr Quirke.
Another fun jaunt into the complicated and intertwined lives of Strafford and Quirke as they are faced with another case that is not what it seems. The Lock-Up embroils the duo in a global mystery stretching to Israel and back to WW2 Germany. Told at a rattling pace, this is a relatively quick read that delivers punchy content, intrigue, humour and memorable characters.
