Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet sea-side village, in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son and an ageing Labrador, both at the discretion of his ex-part-ner Julia. It’s picturesque, but there’s something darker lurking behind the scenes. Jackson’s current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful hus-band for his suspicious wife, is fairly standard-issue, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinis-
ter network―and back across the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking novel by one of the most dazzling and sur-prising writers at work today.
