Lethal White — Reader’s Companion & Study Guide

A disturbed visitor. A childhood memory. Political blackmail. And a death that demands investigation.

When a distressed young man named Billy Knight arrives at Cormoran Strike’s office claiming that, as a child, he witnessed a girl being killed, his fragmented story opens the door to an increasingly complicated investigation.

Strike and Robin are drawn into the world of government minister Jasper Chiswell, political intrigue, blackmail and deeply buried family secrets. Robin goes undercover in Westminster while Strike attempts to determine whether Billy’s disturbing memories contain the truth.
