Death at the Sign of the Rook

LIMITED HB EDITION WITH GORGEOUS ENDPAPERS AND SPRAYED EDGES.

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, and the seemingly tedious matter of a stolen painting. But one theft leads to another, including the disappearance of a valuable Turner from Burton Makepeace, home to Lady Milton and her family. Once a magnificent country house, Burton Makepeace has now partially been converted into a hotel, hosting Murder Mystery weekends.
As paying guests, a vicar, an ex-army officer, impecunious aristocrats, and old friends converge, we are treated a fiendishly clever mystery; one that pays homage to the masters of the genre-from Agatha Christie to Dorothy Sayers.
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.
