Description

Summoned to the sumptuous home of Brian Herrick, the keeper of Dublin's famed Swift Library, superintendent Peter McGarr finds the bibliophile naked and dead. Even more curious, it appears that Herrick was making blue videos based on poems of Jonathan Swift. Still in the camera is the final episode, which also recorded Herrick's gruesome death from poison. By the author of Death on a Cold, Wild River.
