Vengeance by Benjamin Black

Propulsive. Vengeance] will keep you turning pages.--The Los Angeles Times

It's a fine day for a sail, and Victor Delahaye, one of Ireland's most successful businessmen, takes his boat far out to sea--then kills himself in front of his partner's son. This mysterious death immediately engages the attention of Detective Inspector Hackett and his sometime partner, Quirke, consultant pathologist. The stakes are high, and Hackett and Quirke must proceed with caution as they question Mona Delahaye, the dead man's young and very beautiful wife; James and Jonas Delahaye, his identical twin sons; and Jack Clancy, his ambitious, womanizing partner. When a second--and even more shocking--death occurs, it becomes clear that a terrible secret threatens to destroy the lives and reputations of Dublin's elite, in this novel from Benjamin Black.

John Banville, the Man Booker Prize-winning novelist, uses the pen name Benjamin Black. He lives in Dublin and is the author of the bestselling and critically acclaimed Quirke novels: Christine Falls, The Silver Swan, Elegy for April, and A Death in Summer.
