What you need to know before your trail
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 novel, both sharply funny and achingly sad, by one of the most dazzling and surprising writers at work today.

Travel down to Yorkshire with Jackson Brodie
Jackson has rented a cottage in East Yorkshire, near enough to Julia’s filming location so that he can spend time with their thirteen-year-old son, Nathan, during his school holidays. It’s a small seaside town they live in and he thinks it will make a nice change. It’s a few miles north of Whitby and the shadows of vampires and dark deeds are omnipresent.
But this seaside town has secrets.A teen is abducted. Something is found on a beach which seems to back this up. The police don’t see bothered however. What else is this small seaside town hiding?
There are stories of kidnappings and child abuse, trafficking and goodness knows what else. Such seedy goings on in a seemingly normal, seaside town.
