Investigating other people’s tragedies and cock-ups and misfortunes was all he knew. He was used to being a voyeur, the outsider looking in, and nothing, but nothing, that anyone did surprised him any more. Yet despite everything he’d seen and done, inside Jackson there remained a belief – a small, battered and bruised belief – that his job was to help people be good rather than punish them for being bad.

Cambridge is sweltering, during an unusually hot summer. To Jackson Brodie, former police inspector turned private investigator, the world consists of one accounting sheet – Lost on the left, Found on the right – and the two never seem to balance.

Jackson has never felt at home in Cambridge, and has a failed marriage to prove it. Surrounded by death, intrigue and misfortune, his own life haunted by a family tragedy, he attempts to unravel three disparate case histories and begins to realise that in spite of apparent diversity, everything is connected…

‘Her best book yet, an astonishingly complex and moving literary detective story that made me sob but also snort with laughter. It's the sort of novel you have to start rereading the minute you've finished it’
Guardian

'Funny, furious fourth novel rumbustiously drives a path through the genre of detective fiction, demolishing its careful, forensic summation of human behaviour and replacing them with bloody, believable, vigorous tales...'
Rachel Cusk

Thriller literário

Ana C. Oliveira

Um dos melhores livros que li este ano, sem dúvida alguma! A primeira coisa que vou fazer é comprar todos os livros de Kate Atkinson, pois tenho a certeza que se vai tornar uma das minhas escritoras de eleição. Em Case Histories é-nos apresentado Jackson Brodie, um investigador privado que se vê envolvido em vários casos arquivados, tentado desvendá-los ao mesmo tempo em que lida com os seus próprios problemas.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kate Atkinson

Kate Atkinson is one of the most prominent novelists of our time. Published in dozens of countries and languages, it has gained recognition from readers and critics and therefore has today the rare gift of simultaneously winning important literary awards (such as the Costa Book Award, three times) and always being on bestseller lists – it was also awarded by Queen Elizabeth II with the title of Member of the Order of the British Empire for services rendered to literature. A Vast Blue Sky, the novel that Bertrand Editora now gives to Portuguese readers – after Transcription (2020) –, marks the debut in Portugal of one of its most famous and eternal characters, the private detective Jackson Brodie (the saga was adapted into a television series by the BBC).
