A beautiful summer day turns violent when a crowd witnesses a sudden act of extreme road rage where a tap on a fender triggers a nearly homicidal attack, leading one of the bystanders—Jackson Brodie, ex-cop, ex-private detective, new millionaire—to take on the case.
The event thrusts Jackson into the orbit of the wife of an unscrupulous real estate tycoon, a washed-up comedian, a successful crime novelist, a mysterious Russian woman, and a female police detective. Each of them hiding a secret, each looking for love or money or redemption or escape, they all play a role in driving Jackson out of retirement and into the middle of several mysteries that intersect in one sinister scheme.
Kate Atkinson "writes such fluid, sparkling prose that an ingenious plot almost seems too much to ask, but we get it anyway," writes Laura Miller for Salon.
