An unsettling cold case investigation ensnares Cormoran Strike and his
partner in a web of dangerous secrets in this #1 New York Times
bestseller, the inspiration for HBO Max's acclaimed series C.B.
Strike.
When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him
investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private eye is left
deeply troubled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot
remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and
his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from
his office in a panic.
Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott
-- once his assistant, now a partner in the agency -- set off on a
twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a
secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but
sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this
labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from
straightforward. His newfound fame as a private eye means he can no
longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship
with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been; Robin
is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal
relationship is much, much trickier than that. The most epic Robert
Galbraith novel yet, Lethal White is "addictive, murderous fun" for
British mystery lovers and crime fiction fans alike (Vox).
