To look into a murder, Detective Inspector St. John Strafford has been called to County Wexford. The aristocratic and reclusive Osborne family owns Ballyglass House, where a parish priest was discovered dead.
Ireland is ruled by the Catholic Church with an iron grip in 1957. Hardened, obviously Protestant, and desperate to find the murderer, Strafford encounters challenges at every turn, from the heavy snowfall to the tight-knit community's quiet policy. He discovers that the Osbornes are not who they seem when he investigates further. Strafford also has to work to solve the growing mystery surrounding the disappearance of his own deputy before the secrets of the village threaten to destroy everything, much like the blizzard itself.
The next great crime novel from the outstanding Booker Prize winner tells the tale of a family whose secrets come to light after a parish priest is found slain in their ancestral house.
