La novela más épica de Robert Galbraith hasta el momento. Blanco letal nos ofrece un misterio cautivador y un nuevo episodio muy emocionante en la historia de Cormoran Strike y Robin Ellacott.
«Vi cómo mataban a una cría… Cómo la estrangulaban.»
Cuando Billy, un joven con problemas, acude al consultorio privado de Cormoran Strike para pedirle ayuda y que investigue un crimen que cree haber presenciado cuando era niño, Strike se queda perplejo. Si bien Billy tiene obvios problemas mentales y no logra recordar muchos detalles concretos, hay algo sincero en él y en su historia. Pero, antes de que Strike pueda hacerle más preguntas, Billy, presa del pánico, sale corriendo de su oficina.
Tratando de llegar al fondo de la historia de Billy, Strike y Robin Ellacott, su antigua asistente y ahora socia de la agencia, emprenden un camino sinuoso que los lleva a través de las callejuelas de Londres hasta las salas más recónditas y secretas del Parlamento, pasando por una hermosa pero siniestra casa señorial perdida en el campo.
Y mientras la investigación se vuelve cada vez más laberíntica, la vida de Strike es cualquier cosa menos sencilla: su nueva fama como detective privado lleva implícita la incapacidad de operar pasando desapercibido y el ambiente en la oficina es más tenso que nunca. Robin es indispensable para Strike, pero su relación personal se complica día a día.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An unsettling cold case investigation ensnares Cormoran Strike and his partner in a web of dangerous secrets in this #1 New York Times bestseller — “Rowling’s wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display” (USA Today).
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).
