Robin discovers a startling truth close to home. The government minister's blackmailer becomes the prime suspect in the case, but Robin and Strike believe there was an accomplice.
Strike and Robin's startling discovery seems to confirm the story of the strangled child - but they're forced to leave the scene before they can properly investigate.
Fearing their witness is in danger, they redouble their efforts to find him. As Robin deals with frustrations in her marriage and Strike accepts a dependency on a new girlfriend, their investigation deepens.
The duo are taken all over London in pursuit of the truth, from a derelict warehouse filled with protestors to a high-society charity fundraiser. But ultimately, our favourite detectives are unable to stop another tragedy...
Whilst Robin struggles with changes in her personal life, she and Strike are able to provide some comfort to a grieving father. The pair interview more key players in the case and work closely with the police - still honing in on the blackmailer's elusive accomplice.
When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike's office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story.
Strike and Robin 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.
