Smrtící bílá

Smrtící bílá is the fourth case for private detective Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. A distressed young man, Billy, arrives at their office claiming to have witnessed a murder as a child. His memories are incomplete, but Strike senses something that cannot simply be dismissed. Their search leads from London's neighborhoods through Parliament to family secrets at a country estate.

Billy's visit is brief and chaotic. He claims to have seen a child's death, but leaves in panic before Strike can question him closely. Despite the uncertainty, the detective decides to investigate. Robin becomes involved in a case crossing different layers of British society. They enter political circles, influential families, and events inseparable from the past. Galbraith also develops Strike and Robin's professional and personal relationship. Their agency has changed after earlier cases: Strike is better known, and Robin has a stronger professional role.
