When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he has gone off by himself for a few days - as he has done before - and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realises. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published it would ruin lives - so there are a lot of people who might want to silence him. And when Quine is found brutally murdered in bizarre circumstances, it becomes a race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before

Sammendrag: Krimi og thriller, hvor privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike efterforsker forfatteren Owen Quines forsvinden og senere mord. Efterforskningen fører ind i bogbranchen, forlagsverdenen og Londons litterære elite, hvor et kompromitterende manuskript giver næsten alle i kredsen et muligt motiv. Bogen kombinerer klassisk britisk detektivfortælling med moderne spændingsroman og fokuserer både på gåden, miljøbeskrivelsen og forholdet mellem Strike og hans assistent Robin.
