Ein verstorter junger Mann bittet den privaten Ermittler Cormoran Strike um Hilfe bei der Aufklarung eines Verbrechens, das er so glaubt er als Kind mit angesehen hat. Strike ist beunruhigt: Billy hat offensichtlich psychische Probleme und kann sich nur an wenig im Detail erinnern, doch er wirkt aufrichtig. Bevor Strike ihn allerdings ausfuhrlich befragen kann, ergreift der Mann panisch die Flucht. Um Billys Geschichte auf den Grund zu gehen, folgen Strike und Robin Ellacott einst seine Assistentin, jetzt seine Geschaftspartnerin einer verschlungenen Spur, die sie durch die zwielichtigen Ecken Londons, in die oberen Kreise des Parlaments und zu einem prachtvollen, doch dusteren Herrenhaus auf dem Land fuhrt. Zugleich verlauft auch Strikes eigenes Leben alles andere als gradlinig: Er hat es als Ermittler zu Beruhmtheit gebracht und kann sich nicht langer unauffallig hinter den Kulissen bewegen. Noch dazu ist das Verhaltnis zu seiner fruheren Assistentin schwieriger denn je zwar ist Robin fur ihn geschaftlich mittlerweile unersetzlich, ihre private Beziehung ist jedoch viel komplizierter
