In 1950s Dublin, young history student Rosa Jacobs is found dead in her car. Pathologist Quirke and St. John Strafford join forces to investigate the case as a possible murder. The victim's older sister, Molly, a renowned journalist, discovers a crucial clue: a friend of Rosa belongs to a powerful German family that arrived in Ireland under mysterious circumstances after World War II. As Quirke and Strafford get closer to the truth, their personal lives become intertwined with the case, endangering everyone involved, including Quirke's daughter. With scenes set in the mountains of Italy, in Bavaria during the war, and in the streets of Dublin, 'Les germanes Jacobs' is an ambitious and impactful mystery.
William John Banville is an Irish novelist, adapter of dramas, and screenwriter. A former member of Aosdána, he voluntarily relinquished the financial stipend in 2001 to another, more impoverished, writer.
