![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The police immediately go after the mobster, who, on second thought, Strike finds an unlikely culprit-so he and Robin set to work tracking down the other three. Strike can think of four men, right off the top of his head, who would be capable of such a horrific thing: the stepfather he thinks killed his mother with a heroin overdose a famous mobster and two sick bastards he tangled with when he was an Army investigator. ![]() Someone seems to be using Robin to get to her boss, who's missing a leg himself, having lost it in an explosion in Afghanistan. When she opens it, though, she’s horrified to find a woman’s leg. As this third book opens, she’s arriving at work off Charing Cross Road and accepts a package from a deliveryman, thinking it’s a shipment of favors for her upcoming wedding to Matthew, the jealous fiance who disapproves of her job. Robin Ellacott first showed up at hard-living private eye Cormoran Strike’s office as a temp, but by the end of their second big case ( The Silkworm, 2014), she’d become indispensable as a fellow investigator. Rowling continues her investigation of the dark side-this time giving us three gruesomely twisted suspects-in her latest pseudonymous mystery. ![]()
