Big sky

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER THE RETURN OF JACKSON BRODIE; 'LIKE ALL GOOD DETECTIVES; A HERO FOR MEN AND WOMEN ALIKE' (The Times)

'Big Sky is laced with Atkinson’s sharp; dry humour; and one of the joys of the Brodie novels has always been that they are so funny' (Observer)

Jackson Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire; in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son Nathan and ageing Labrador Dido; both at the discretion of his former partner Julia. It’s a picturesque setting; but there’s something darker lurking behind the scenes.

Jackson’s current job; gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for his suspicious wife; seems straightforward; but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network―and back into the path of someone from his past. Old secrets and new lies intersect in this breathtaking new literary crime novel; both sharply funny and achingly sad; by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.
