But Dr Hunter has gone missing and Reggie seems to be the only person who is worried. In Edinburgh, sixteen-year-old Reggie works as a nanny for a G.P. Thirty years later the man convicted of the crime is released from prison. In rural Devon, six-year-old Joanna Mason witnesses an appalling crime. Surrounded by death, intrigue and misfortune, his own life haunted by a family tragedy, Jackson attempts to unravel three disparate case histories and begins to realise that in spite of apparent diversity, everything is connected. To Jackson Brodie, former police inspector turned private investigator, the world consists of one accounting sheet - Lost on the left, Found on the right - and the two never seem to balance. All three characters learn that the past is never history and that no good deed goes unpunished.Ĭambridge is sweltering, during an unusually hot summer. Witnesses to Tracy's outrageous exchange in the Merrion Centre in Leeds are Tilly, an elderly actress teetering on the brink of her own disaster, and Jackson Brodie, who has returned to his home county in search of someone else's roots. That one moment of madness is all it takes for Tracy's humdrum world to be turned upside down, the tedium of everyday life replaced by fear and danger at every turn. A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse, until she makes a shocking impulse purchase.
