"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. 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."--Amazon.… (altro)
In passato non avevo mai letto i libri del ciclo di Harry Potter, ma successivamente ho letto il bellissimo Il Seggio Vacante e mi sono appassionato allo stile della Rowling. Ho così deciso di affrontare l'ultimo episodio delle indagini di Cormoran Strike scritto con lo pseudonimo di Robert Galbraith. Appassionante nonostante le quasi 800 pagine, bellissima scrittura (a parte qualche riga qua e la un po' banale...) trama appassionante e perfetta caratterizzazione dei personaggi. Ora affronterò tutti i precedenti volumi della serie.... ( )

Head bowed against the rain, she had no attention left to spare for the magnificent mansion past which she was walking, its rain-specked windows facing the great river, its front doors engraved with twin swans.
