THE DEATH OF AN ARDENT BIBLIOPHILE

Bartholomew Gill

Death was never dignified, at least not the sort usually viewed by Peter McGarr, chief superintendent of the Serious Crimes Unit of the Garda Siochana, the Irish police. The death of Brian Herrick had been even less dignified than most, given who he had been—a man who had kept a notable library, who had owned one of the finest homes in Dublin, and who had presumed in various ways to be Jonathan Swift. Herrick’s body was found sprawled across a table in his office, his face on a book with notes in the margin. In all, it seemed as if Herrick had been taken by some fatal attack while sitting in the chair working. But what sort of work— and why was he naked?
