Lethal White
by rOBert Galbraith
Released June 11th
“R
owling’s wizardry as a writer is on
fulsome display” (USA Today) in
this #1 New York Times bestseller from
the international bestselling author Robert
Galbraith.
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.
The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet,
Lethal White is both a gripping mystery and a
page-turning next instalment in the ongoing
story of Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott.

criminal defense attorney, find their moral
compasses tested as they defend their
daughter, while struggling to understand
why she is a suspect. Told in an unusual
three-part structure, A Nearly Normal Family
