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.His days are full of people clamouring for answers and explanations.A jealous husband suspects his wife.Two spinster sisters make a shocking find.A solicitor investigates an old murder.A nurse has lost her neice; a widow,her cats.Jackson has never felt at home in Cambridge and has a failed marriage to prove it. He is forty-five but feels much,much older.He is at that dangerous age when men suddenly notice that they're going to die eventually,inevitably, and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.Surrounded by death,intrigue and misfortune, his own life is brought sharply into focus. Ingeniously plotted,full of suspense and heartbreak,'Case Histories' is a feat of bravura storytelling that conveys the mysteries of life, its inanities and its hilarities.It is a life-affirming work of profound insight and intelligence.
