Atkinson received the Saltire Book of the Year award, as well as the Prix Westminster for Case Histories, gaining widespread acclaim for the first book in Jackson Brodie’s series. As well as the three cases, Brodie must also juggle his complicated personal life. And the final case Brodie is investigating involves a wife and mother who is trapped in a relationship that ends up a violent and bloody manner. The second case involves a young woman who is apparently attacked at random by a rampaging maniac. The first case is a young girl who vanishes during the night, with no trace of her left behind. In the first book in the Jackson Brodie series, Case Histories, which was released in 2005, we are introduced to Jackson as he is brought on to investigate three separate cases. Jackson Brodie is an ex-cop, so he puts the skills he picked up during his years in the police for to good use in his work as a private investigator. The character of Jackson Brodie is private investigator who originally comes from the English county of Yorkshire, but who now resides in Cambridge, in the south-east of England.
