In Episode 2, we meet Strike trying to get the police to investigate into Rochelle’s death/suicide without much luck. Unfortunately, Rochelle herself is killed soon after and the body is discovered by none other than Strike. Unaffected by this, Strike tracks down Rochelle Onifade, Lula’s friend and one of the last few persons to see her on the day of her death. Strike’s attempts to secure a meeting with neighbour and witness Tansy Bestigui result in his encounter with Lula’s uncle Tony Landry, who tries to bully and threaten Strike into stopping the investigation. It is a different world indeed where the rich and famous dwell. Impressed by her interest in the work, Strike invites her to go and visit 18, Kentigern Gardens, Lula’s residence and the scene of the crime. She also crawls the internet to identify friends and family of Lula Landry, all interested parties, so to speak. Meanwhile, Robin googles/bings Strike’s existence on the internet and learns about a Rockstar father, his status as an Afghan war hero, his missing leg and so on. But it is not until Strike calls in a favour with the Metropolitan police and talks to the investigating officer DI Wardle that he decides to take the case on, after he learns about a witness who changed her statement about the death. He grudgingly allows her to stay and soon enough its John Bristow knocking on the door – with a request for Strike to take on the case of investigating the death of his sister – supermodel Lula Landry.Ī thousand pounds are a good enough reason for Strike to look into the matter when added to the family connection, and John’s need for justice to be done. She encounters a storming Charlotte, is nearly thrown off the stairs by Strike featuring a bloody lip in a trashed office. This is clearly the first day of Robin arriving at Strike’s doorstep, looking at her phone rather than a London A-Z.
