Based on the novels by Robert Galbraith, Tom Burke stars as private detective Cormoran Strike, a former war veteran now working out of a cramped London office. Together with his assistant, Robin Ellacott, played by Holliday Grainger, Cormoran tackles cases that have, so far, baffled the police. Though struggling with the psychological and physical toll that combat have wrought on him, Cormoran is well-equipped to tackle complex conundrums thanks to his background as a Special Investigation Branch investigator.
