Kate Atkinson got into the big leagues of modern literature at the very first attempt: her debut novel The Museum of My Secrets won the prestigious Whitbread Prize, beating out Salman Rushdie's The Moor's Farewell Breath Salman Rushdie, and the cycle of novels about private detective Jackson Brodie, which has managed to be loved by Russian readers ("Crimes of the Past", "Turn for the Better", "Shall I Wait for Good News?", "At Daylight, with a Dog Alone"), Stephen King dubbed "the main detective project of the decade. The total circulation of the cycle exceeded three million copies, and on the basis of his first books, the BBC television channel released a series "Crimes of the Past" with Jackson Isaacs in the title role.
Jackson Brodie settled in a tiny seaside village in North Yorkshire, where he sometimes keeps company with his son and decrepit Labrador, and sadly awaits the wedding of his daughter. While doing routine private detective work - mostly collecting evidence of marital infidelity - Jackson one day meets a desperate man on a crumbling cliff. Reaching out to him literally and figuratively, Jackson unwillingly gets involved in the investigation of terrible crimes that have been going on for years under the noses of the police, and they are committed by the most decent and respectable people. At the same time with Jackson this sinister tangle called "magic circle" unravels his old Edinburgh acquaintance, to whom he owes his life - erudite and no longer a little Reggie Deech ...
"A magical - and magically addictive - world of intersecting paths, devious plots and amazing coincidences. Incredibly fascinating and moving" (Sunday Mirror).
