Robert Galbraith

Genudgivelse i paperback Silkeorm er den anden kriminalroman af Robert Galbraith - pseudonymet, som J.K. Rowling benytter. Da romanforfatteren Owen Quine forsvinder, ringer hans kone til privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike. I begyndelsen tror hun blot, at han er stukket af for sig selv et par dage – som han har gjort før – og hun beder Strike om at finde ham og hente ham hjem igen. Efterhånden som Strike efterforsker sagen, bliver det klart, at der ligger mere bag Quines forsvinden, end hans kone tror. Romanforfatteren har netop lagt sidste hånd på et manuskript, der rummer giftige portrætter af stort set alle, han kender. Hvis romanen blev udgivet, ville den ødelægge adskillige liv, så der er mange, der har god grund til at ville gøre ham tavs. Da Quine findes myrdet under bizarre omstændigheder, bliver det en kamp mod uret for at forstå den brutale morders motiver – en morder, der ikke ligner nogen anden, Strike har været ude for … Silkeorm er en åndeløst spændende kriminalroman med uventede forviklinger og overraskelser på hver eneste side. Bogen er bind to i den anmelderroste serie med Cormoran Strike og hans energiske, unge assistent Robin Ellacott.

Private investigator Cormoran Strike must track down a missing writer -- and a sinister killer bent on destruction -- in this "wonderfully entertaining" mystery (Harlan Coben, New York Times Book Review) that inspired the acclaimed HBO Max series C.B. Strike. When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days -- as he has done before -- and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home. But as Strike investigates, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published, it would ruin lives -- meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him. When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before . . . A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.

Kun kaunis, ongelmien piinaama mallityttö putoaa lumen peittämältä parvekkeelta Mayfairissa, kaikki viittaa itsemurhaan.Tytön veljellä on kuitenkin epäilyksensä, ja hän palkkaa yksityisetsivä Cormoran Striken tutkimaan tapausta.

J.K. Rowling skriver sin første kriminalroman Når gjøken galer under pseudonymet Robert Galbraith. Dette er strålende krim fra Harry Potter-forfatteren og privatdetektiv Comoran Strike og hans skarpe sekretær Robin er vårt nye etterforskerpar. De er en moderne versjon av Sherlock Holmes og Dr. Watson. "Når gjøken galer minner meg om hvorfor jeg ble forelsket i kriminallitteratur i første omgang." Val McDermid Da den vakre, men nedtrykte modellen, Lula Landry, faller i døden fra en snødekt Mayfair-balkong, antas det at hun har begått selvmord. Imidlertid har broren hennes sin tvil, og han får privatetterforsker Cormoran Strike til å se nærmere på saken. Strike er krigsveteran – såret både fysisk og psykisk - og tilværelsen hans er kaotisk. Saken gir Strike en økonomisk livline, men det følger med en personlig kostnad: Jo mer han dykker ned i den unge modellen komplekse verden, dess mørkere blir ting - og jo mer nærmer han seg den største fare ...
