Deadly White

When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private investigator is left deeply shaken. While Billy is clearly in psychological distress and can't remember many concrete details, there's something about him and his story that rings true. But before Strike can question him further, Billy leaves his office in a panic.

In an attempt to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott—his former assistant, now a partner in the agency—set out on a twisting path that leads them through the back alleys of London, to a secret inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister mansion deep in the countryside.

During this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's private life is far from simple. His newfound fame as a private investigator means he can no longer work behind the scenes as he once did. Additionally, his relationship with his former assistant is more strained than ever; Robin is now invaluable to Strike at work, but their personal relationship is far more difficult.

Robert Galbraith's most epic novel yet, Lethal White is a "murderous, addictive delight" for British mystery fans and crime fiction lovers alike (Vox).
