CB Strike: Lethal White
Based on the best-selling novel by Robert Galbraith (aka JK Rowling), C.B. Strike: Lethal White stars Tom Burke (Orson Welles in Mank) as private detective Cormoran Strike, a former Special Investigation Branch investigator and war veteran.
Together with his assistant, Robin Ellacott (Holliday Grainger, The Capture), Cormoran tackles cases that have, so far, baffled the police.
C.B. Strike has an 82% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As John Doyle wrote in The Globe and Mail, “Heavens what a love story, with a tangled mystery thrown in. Readers, I was smitten. What a great diversion.”
