by Kate AtkinsonCon esta nueva entrega de novela policíaca protagonizada por el detective Jackson Brodie, Kate Atkinson se revela una vez más como la espléndida heredera de una tradición que tiene en sus filas a mujeres de la talla de Patricia Highsmith y P.D.

De repente, Tracy supo que compraría algo más que galletas... Al poco rato, la niña estaba en su coche y desde entonces la vida ha sido para ella un ir y venir de emociones desconocidas. Tracy confiaba en que no habría testigos de ese extraño negocio, pero Jackson Brodie, recién llegado a Inglaterra para resolver un caso de falsa identidad, entra de repente en escena: sus dotes de gran investigador y de hombre deliciosamente imperfecto van a convertir una trama policial en una historia donde las cuestiones morales son lo que importa.
