Cambridge. Hot summer. Former police officer, now private investigator Jackson Brody takes on three cases that have long been considered closed.
1970: the disappearance of a three-year-old girl.
1994: the girl dies in her father's office on her first day at work.
1979: a young mother, driven to despair, commits a crime that destroys her family forever.
The deeper Brody delves into other people's memories, family secrets and old grievances, the more clearly he sees: these stories are interconnected. And each of them resonates with his own trauma, from which he has never been able to recover. The past is not forgotten and does not let go, and its secrets have been waiting for years to come to light.
Crimes of the Past is the first novel in Kate Atkinson's famous detective Jackson Brody series, adapted by the BBC and starring Jason Isaacs. The novel has won numerous awards, including the Saltire Society Scottish Book of the Year, and was included in Time's "100 Best Detectives and Thrillers of All Time".
