Londra. È notte fonda quando Lula Landry, leggendaria e capricciosa top model, precipita dal balcone del suo lussuoso attico a Mayfair sul marciapiede innevato. La polizia archivia il caso come suicidio, ma il fratello della modella non può crederci. Decide di affidarsi a un investigatore privato e un caso del destino lo conduce all’ufficio di Cormoran Strike. Veterano della guerra in Afghanistan, dove ha perso una gamba, Strike riesce a malapena a guadagnarsi da vivere come detective. Per lui, scaricato dalla fidanzata e senza più un tetto, questo nuovo caso significa sopravvivenza, qualche debito in meno, la mente occupata. Ci si butta a capofitto, ma indizio dopo indizio, la verità si svela a caro prezzo in tutta la sua terribile portata e lo trascina sempre più a fondo nel mondo scintillante e spietato della vittima, sempre più vicino al pericolo che l’ha schiacciata…

But soon it becomes horribly apparent that with China and the USA moving ever closer to a nuclear showdown, it could be a mission too far for Patrick McLanahan, Brad Elliott, Jon Masters and their high-tech EB-52 Megafortress -- the 'Old Dog' itself.
