Jackson Brodie had been walking his ex-girlfriend’s dog on the beach
early in the morning when the dog discovered a backpack with a unicorn
on it. What was unusual about that, was that the previous day he and
his son had seen a young girl carrying one hop into a car that he was
sure didn’t belong to her parents. He took the backpack to the police.
However, the desk sergeant didn’t seem too interested.
He also has a job; a woman has approached him concerned about being
followed. So, he sets up surveillance on her, and sure enough she is.
Is it another private detective? He is shocked later when the children
of hers were kidnapped right away from her while he was nearby. They
are unable to keep up with the kidnappers!
In the course of his investigation, Brodie runs into a young woman who
had saved his life many years before. She is now a Detective
Constable. DC Reggie Chase will continue to keep secrets with Brodie.
Author Kate Atkinson has spun another tale that seems to start out as
nothing, but gathers steam leading to a surprising conclusion. There
are stories within stories in this thriller. A very interesting read to
say the least.
