內容簡介: |
When a troubled model falls to her death from a
snow-covered Mayfair balcony, it is assumed that she has
committed suicide. However, her brother has his doubts, and calls
in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the
case. Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and
psychologically - and his life is in disarray. The case gives him a
financial lifeline, but it comes at a personal cost: the more he
delves into the young model''s complex world, the darker things get
- and the closer he gets to terrible danger ...A gripping, elegant
mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the hushed
streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the
bustle of Soho - The Cuckoo''s Calling is a remarkable book.
Introducing Cormoran Strike, this is a classic crime novel in the
tradition of P. D. James and Ruth Rendell, and marks the beginning
of a unique series of mysteries.
