PREVIOUS BOOK IN SERIES: BIG SKY, ISBN 9780385691550. The highly anticipated return of Kate Atkinson's "irresistible" (New York Times) private eye Jackson Brodie, whose newest adventure pays homage to Agatha Christie in the latest installment of a series described by The Washington Post as "Raymond Chandler meets Jane Austen." Marooned overnight by a snowstorm is a cast of characters and a setting that even Agatha Christie might recognize--a vicar, an Army major, a Dowager, a sleuth and his sidekick--except that the sleuth is Jackson Brodie, and the "sidekick" is DC Reggie Chase. Death at The Sign of the Rook is a brilliantly plotted, supremely entertaining, and utterly compulsive tour de force from a great writer at the height of her powers. The five beloved and critically acclaimed novels in her Jackson Brodie series have sold over 3.5 million copies worldwide.
