The highly anticipated return of Jackson Brodie, ex-military, ex-Cambridge Constabulary, today detective agency, ‘a hero for women and men alike’*.

Jackson Brodie has relocated to a calm seaside village in North Yorkshire, in the casual company of his recalcitrant teenage kid Nathan and ageing Labrador Dido, both in the discretion of his former partner Julia. It’s a picturesque setting, but there’s something darker lurking behind the moments.

Jackson’s current about Big Sky job, gathering proof of an unfaithful hubby for his suspicious wife, seems straightforward, but an opportunity encounter using a desperate man on the crumbling cliff prospects him right into a sinister network-and back into the path of somebody from his past. Aged secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking new novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by probably one of the most amazing and surprising authors at work today.

‘Jason Issacs – most widely known for playing Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films – [is] a favorite and adept narrator, who have did all five Brodie novels with great flair. This book offers all Atkinson’s genius hallmarks: funny, unfortunate, heartwarming and gripping.’ Daily Mail
