About the show
In the grips of psychosis, a young man named Billy Knight (Joseph Quinn, CATHERINE THE GREAT) arrives in private detective Cormoran Strike’s (Tom Burke, THE MUSKETEERS) office telling the story of a child he saw strangled many years ago. Strike is simultaneously hired by government minister Jasper Chiswell (Robert Glenister, Live by Night) to investigate Billy’s brother, Jimmy Knight (Nick Blood, AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.), who is blackmailing him. As Strike and his partner Robin (Holliday Grainger, PATRICK MELROSE) work to determine how the cases might be connected, Robin goes undercover in the House of Commons.
