A Death in Summer book(Top new release thriller book) releasing on May 2012About the Book: A Death in SummerThe new Quirke Dublin mystery from John Banville writing as Benjamin BlackWhen newspaper magnate Richard Jewell is found dead at his country estate, clutching a shotgun in his lifeless hands, few see his demise as cause for sorrow. But before long Doctor Quirke and Inspector Hackett realise that, rather than the suspected suicide, 'Diamond Dick' has in fact been murdered. Suspicion soon falls on one of Jewell's biggest rivals. But as Quirke and his assistant Sinclair get to know Jewell's beautiful, enigmatic wife Francoise d'Aubigny and his fragile sister Dannie, as well as those who work for the family, it gradually becomes clear that all is not as it seems...Against the backdrop of 1950's Dublin, Benjamin Black conjures another atmospheric, beguiling mystery.About Benjamin Black Benjamin Black is the pen name of acclaimed author John Banville, who was born in Wexford, Ireland, in 1945.

A Death in the Summer, his latest featuring the pathologist-turned-crime solver Quirke, is somewhat less magical. The prose sparkles as always -- both Black and his true identity, the more respectable John Banville, very rarely have a word out of place. But this time out, the lyrical sleight of hand can't mask the lazily turning plot mechanics in which the murder that's ostensibly driving the story -- the suspicious shotgun suicide of a Dublin newspaper tycoon --comes off as strangely incidental. It's still a good show, but there appears to be much more misdirection than real direction.
