The Ink Black Heart By Robert Galbraith

The latest instalment in the highly acclaimed, internationally bestselling Cormoran Strike series finds Cormoran and Robin ensnared in another winding, wicked case. "A scrupulous plotter and master of misdirection, Galbraith keeps the pages turning." - The Guardian When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn’t know quite what to make of the situation. The co-creator of a popular cartoon, The Ink Black Heart, Edie is being persecuted by a mysterious online figure who goes by the pseudonym of Anomie. Edie is desperate to uncover Anomie’s true identity. "[Galbraith's] greatest novelistic gifts are her ability to spin wild, intricate plots (witness the astrological elements of this latest book), and to create colourful, highly individual characters who come instantly alive on the page." - Bill Sheehan, The Washington Post "This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh‑so‑human flaws and virtues of Galbraith's irresistible hero and heroine." - USA Today Robin decides that the agency can’t help with this—and thinks nothing more of it until a few days later, when she reads the shocking news that Edie has been tasered and then murdered in Highgate Cemetery, the location of The Ink Black Heart. Robin and her business partner, Cormoran Strike, become drawn into the quest to uncover Anomie’s true identity. But with a complex web of online aliases, business interests and family conflicts to navigate, Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches their powers of deduction to the limits – and which threatens them in new and horrifying ways...
