Case Histories

Description: Set amidst the iconic landscapes of modern Edinburgh, `Case Histories' brings to life Kate Atkinson's novels and the complexity of its hero, Jackson Brodie, played by Jason Isaacs.

He presents a tough-guy persona that hides a soft, deeply empathetic heart, and it's that dichotomy that forms the backbone of and enriches each story.
