April In Spain by John Banville

While on holiday in San Sebastián, Dublin pathologist Quirke glimpses a woman he believes is April Latimer, long presumed dead, igniting a chain of events that exposes a powerful Irish family’s buried crimes. News of the sighting sends a cold-blooded young hitman to Spain to erase the past, drawing Inspector St John Strafford into a tense pursuit that moves between Franco’s Spain and 1950s Dublin. Atmospheric and quietly menacing, it explores guilt, identity, and the rot beneath respectable facades.
