It stars Jason Isaacs, who has also narrated the abridged audiobook adaptation, as protagonist Jackson Brodie.

[8] Private investigator Jackson Brodie (Jason Isaacs), a former soldier and policeman, hides a deeply empathetic heart under his tough-guy exterior.

He is unable to resist coming to the rescue and is a magnet for the bereaved, the lost and the dysfunctional.

Intriguing, moving, and funny, the character-driven stories conjure up a richly imagined world in which Brodie attempts to bring resolution to the victims of unexplained mysteries and comfort to the survivors of personal tragedies.

Assisted by his faithful colleague Louise Munroe (Amanda Abbington), Jackson attempts to provide answers to those without hope of ever finding them any other way.
