# Death at the Sign of the Rook: A Jackson Brodie Book - Hardcover

by **Kate Atkinson** (Author)

**THE INSTANT #1 BESTSELLER (_SUNDAY TIMES_, UK) - The highly anticipated return of "irresistible" (_New York Times)_ private eye Jackson Brodie in the newest installment of the bestselling series hailed as "unputdownable" by _Time_**

"How delicious to have Jackson Brodie back, this time in a story that starts off in Agatha Christie's world but soon becomes a landscape that could only have been crafted from the pen of the incomparable Kate Atkinson."-Ian Rankin, author of the _Inspector Rebus_ Novels

Welcome to Rook Hall. The stage is set. The players are ready. By night's end, a murderer will be revealed.

In his sleepy Yorkshire town, ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off boredom and malaise. His only case is the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting. But Jackson soon uncovers a string of unsolved art thefts that lead him down a dizzying spiral of disguise and deceit to Burton Makepeace, a formerly magnificent estate now partially converted into a hotel hosting Murder Mystery weekends.

As paying guests, impecunious aristocrats and old friends collide, we are treated to Atkinson's most charming and fiendishly clever mystery yet, one that pays homage to the masters of the genre--from Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers to the modern era of _Knives Out_ and _Only Murders in the Building_.
