Mystery | Fiction
The scene is set in Cambridge, with three case histories
from the past: A young child who mysteriously disappeared
from a tent in her back garden; An unidentified man in a
yellow jumper who marched into an office and slashed a young
girl through the throat; and a young woman found by the
police sitting in her kitchen next to the body of her
husband, an axe buried in his head. Jackson Brodie, a private investigator and former police
detective, is quietly contemplating life as a divorced
father when he is flung into the midst of these resurrected
old crimes. Julia and Amelia Land enlist Jackson�s help to
find out the truth about their younger sister. They embroil
him in the complexities of their own jealousies, obsessions
and lust. Another woman named Shirley needs Jackson to help find her
lost niece. Jackson meets solicitor Theo Wyre whose
daughter, Laura, was murdered in his office and is desperate
for Jackson to help him lay Laura's ghost to rest. As he starts his investigations Jackson has the sinister
feeling that someone is following him. In digging into the
past Jackson seems to have unwittingly threatened his own
future. This wonderfully crafted, intricately plotted novel
is heartbreaking, uplifting, full of suspense and often very
funny.
