In the second installment of the acclaimed series starring Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, the wife of novelist Owen Quine is convinced that her husband has gone away to spend a few days alone, as he has done on other occasions. That is why she goes to the office of private detective Cormoran Strike to ask him to find her husband and bring him back home. However, Cormoran discovers that behind Quine's absence there is much more than his wife believes. Recently, Owen had finished a manuscript in which he revealed the most compromising secrets of practically all his acquaintances. It is evident that the publication of the novel would ruin their lives, so, in theory, any of them would do anything to prevent the book from coming to light. And when the theory becomes reality with the appearance of Quine's corpse, events precipitate. Owen has been brutally murdered, with a cruelty that Cormoran does not remember having seen before. Thus, stopping the culprit becomes an urgent task, for which Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, his efficient assistant, must resort to all their courage and cunning to identify the killer and catch him as soon as possible.
