Tracy Waterhouse, ehemalige Polizistin und absolut gesetzestreue Bürgerin, kauft ein Kind. Niemand ist davon mehr überrascht als sie selbst. Zwar handelt es sich dabei eigentlich um eine Rettungsaktion, dennoch ist das Ganze keineswegs legal, und Tracy ist von Stund an auf der Flucht. Da kommt es ihr höchst ungelegen, dass ein gewisser Jackson Brodie, Privatdetektiv, sie unbedingt wegen eines 30 Jahre alten Falles sprechen möchte. Damals ging es auch um ein Kind, doch der jungen Polizistin waren die Hände gebunden. Umso mehr ist Tracy heute entschlossen, das Richtige zu tun, koste es, was es wolle ...

'Crime has given Atkinson the freedom to write an ambitious, panoramic work, full of excitement, colour and compassion' Sunday Times
A day like any other for security chief Tracy Waterhouse, until she makes a shocking impulse purchase. That one moment of madness is all it takes for Tracy's humdrum world to be turned upside down, the tedium of everyday life replaced by fear and danger at every turn.
Witnesses to Tracy's outrageous exchange in the Merrion Centre in Leeds are Tilly, an elderly actress teetering on the brink of her own disaster, and Jackson Brodie, who has returned to his home county in search of someone else's roots. All three characters learn that the past is never history and that no good deed goes unpunished.
Rezension:
'Atkinson's finest novel to date. Indeed, it's one of the finest British novels, in any genre, to have emerged for years...sharp and dexterous, subtle and stylish, very funny and at time extraordinarily cutting...This is very much a state of the nation novel - far sharper and more observant and satirically understanding than anything else out there at the moment. And yet Atkinson also gives us humanity, insight and entertainment...a story that deserves to be read for decades to come Henry Sutton Mirror
