Career of Evil

LETHAL WHITE is both a gripping mystery and the page-turning next instalment in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, written by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. 'I seen a kid killed . . . He strangled it, up by the horse.' 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 more tricky than that . . .

Enquanto a polícia considera o caso como suicídio, o irmão da jovem insiste em que ela não teria motivos para tirar a própria vida. Inconformado, John Bristow, irmão mais velho de Lula, toma a iniciativa de investigar o caso por conta própria. Para isso, recorre ao detetive particular Cormoran Strike, que havia sido amigo de infância de seu irmão Charlie, morto aos 9 anos em um acidente. O cliente vem em boa hora para o veterano de guerra Strike, que enfrenta problemas na vida pessoal e profissional: afundado em dívidas e sem saber como irá se sustentar, ele é forçado a morar no escritório depois do rompimento com a noiva Charlotte. Pouco antes da chegada de Bristow, outra pessoa surge na vida de Strike. Trata-se de Robin Ellacott, uma jovem indicada por uma agência de serviços temporários para trabalhar como secretária. Esperta e curiosa, Robin vai aos poucos quebrando a resistência do novo chefe e se envolvendo na investigação, encontrando peças importantes que ajudam a montar o quebra-cabeça que representa a morte de Lula Landry. Envolvido em uma teia que mistura poder, traição, inveja e segredos sombrios, Strike coloca a vida em risco na busca pela verdade.

Rowling para criar personagens apaixonantes e tramas que prendem os leitores, deixando no ar a ansiedade pela próxima história.
