About
THE INSTANT #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • The highly anticipated return of private eye Jackson Brodie in the newest installment of the bestselling series, now available in paperback.
Welcome to Rook Hall. The stage is set. The players are ready. By night's end, a murderer will be revealed.
Ex-detective Jackson Brodie is staving off a bad case of midlife malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town for the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting.
But Jackson soon uncovers a string of unsolved art thefts that lead him down a dizzying spiral of disguise and deceit to Burton Makepeace, a formerly magnificent estate now partially converted into a hotel hosting Murder Mystery weekends.
As paying guests, impecunious aristocrats and old friends collide, we are treated to Atkinson’s most charming and fiendishly clever mystery yet, one that pays homage to the masters of the genre—from Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers to the modern era of Knives Out and Only Murders in the Building.
Brilliantly inventive, with all of Atkinson’s signature wit, wordplay and narrative brio, Death at the Sign of the Rook may be Jackson Brodie’s most outrageous and memorable case yet.

“Atkinson, whose star gets brighter with every novel she writes, brings back Jackson Brodie, Yorkshire PI, in a brilliant tale of art and murder. . . . You won’t stop reading until the last word.” —Globe and Mail
