The highly anticipated return of private eye Jackson Brodie in the newest installment of the bestselling series.

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 mid-life malaise when he is called to a sleepy Yorkshire town and 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 Kate 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.
