Iconoclastic detective Jackson Brodie returns in a novel about secrets, sex and lies. Brodie has relocated to a quiet seaside village in the occasional company of his recalcitrant teenage son and an aging Labrador, both at the discretion of his ex-partner Julia. It's picturesque, but there's something dark lurking behind the scenes. Brodie's current job, gathering proof of an unfaithful husband for the man's suspicious wife, is fairly standard-issue, but a chance encounter with a desperate man on a crumbling cliff leads him into a sinister network, and back across the path of his old friend Reggie. Past secrets and new lies intersect. 'Taut and intricate but also messy and funny and full of life.' - Time Magazine. A masterclass in human observation the book is effectively a black comedy dealing with as it does sex trafficking. 391pp.
