A parish priest has been found dead in Ballyglass House, the family seat of the aristocratic, secretive Osborne family.\n\nThe year is 1957 and the Catholic Church rules Ireland with an iron fist. Strafford—flinty, visibly Protestant and determined to identify the murderer—faces obstruction at every turn, from the heavily accumulating snow to the culture of silence in the tight-knit community he begins to investigate.\n\nAs he delves further, he learns the Osbornes are not at all what they seem. And when his own deputy goes missing, Strafford must work to unravel the ever-expanding mystery before the community’s secrets, like the snowfall itself, threaten to obliterate everything.\n\nBeautifully crafted, darkly evocative and pulsing with suspense, Snow is “the Irish master” (New Yorker) John Banville at his page-turning best.\n\nDon't miss John Banville's next novel, The Lock-up!\n\nOther riveting mysteries from John Banville: April in Spain\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1335629033\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKTGN0022EW_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Banville, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
