The Silkworm

When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, she just thinks he 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, it becomes clear that there is more to Quine's disappearance than his wife realises. 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 - so there are a lot of people who might want to silence him. And when Quine is found brutally murdered in bizarre circumstances, it becomes a 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 the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant Robin Ellacott.

"The Silkworm" er den fascinerende fortsættelse til J.K. Rowlings krimidebut "The Cuckoo's Calling". Privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike bliver sat på en anderledes opgave, da romanforfatteren Owen Quine forsvinder ud i den blå luft. Quines kone tror først, at han blot er rejst væk i et par dage, men da Strike begynder efterforskningen, står det klart at der er mere bag Quines forsvinden end konen tror. Forfatteren har nemlig netop færdiggjort et romanudkast, der giftigt udstiller alle hans bekendte. Hvis romanen når trykkepressen, vil det ødelægge adskillige liv. Listen med mistænkte vokser støt og da Quine bliver fundet brutalt myrdet under bizarre omstændigheder, må Strike vinde et kapløb imod tiden for at stoppe den skånselsløse morder. "The Silkworm" er anden bog i den anmelderroste krimiserie om privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike og hans unge assistent Robin Ellacott.
