Kate Atkinson got into the big leagues of modern literature at her first attempt: her debut novel "The Museum of My Secrets" won the prestigious Whitbread Prize, beating Salman Rushdie's "The Moor's Parting Sigh" Salman Rushdie, and a series of novels about private detective Jackson Brodie, which has managed to love and Russian readers ("Crimes of the Past", "Turn for the better", "Do I wait for good news?", "At dawn, with a dog together," "Big Sky"), 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 the first of his books, the TV channel BBC released a series of "Crimes of the Past" with Jackson Isaacs in the title role. After all the adventures in Cambridge and Edinburgh, Brodie returns to his native Yorkshire. The private detective, seemingly retired, is trying to track down the fake wife who cleaned out his bank account and responds, without wanting to, to a sudden letter from New Zealand: "I was adopted, and I'd like to ask: can you find out anything about my biological parents?". But it turns out to be easier said than done: Nadine McMaster's parents are not listed in any archives, and neither is the fact of adoption. "The story of a lost and found child is strangely reflected and refracted in the stories of other lost children and - in an unexpected way - in the story of a dog" (Galina Yuzefovich, "Itogi"). Two retired policemen each conduct their own investigation in the same space, not touching each other for the time being, and each has his own past, his own trail of historical and cultural realities behind him. "When the main detective plot intervenes in this existential turmoil, the reader is delighted by the skill with which Atkinson transforms the bizarre dance of coincidence into a rigorous detective solitaire" (Time Out).
