A moving drama about the nature of fate

This book heralds the welcome return of Jackson Brodie, the former police inspector who is emotionally dense but detective-smart. Here he is embroiled in a train crash, reunited with an old flame, and revisiting an old case where a little girl is the sole survivor of a horrific crime. Add a missing doctor and the travails of lonely teenager Reggie, and you have a brilliantly observed drama on the nature of fate, love and memory.
