CAREER OF EVIL
A Cormoran Strike Novel
by Robert Galbraith
When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.
Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.
With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them. ...
Career of Evil is the third book in the highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant, Robin Ellacott. A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, it is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives.
"Robert Galbraith has written a second absorbing whodunit starring detective Cormoran Strike to follow the stealth hit The Cuckoo's Calling. ...Astutely observed, well-paced, and full of Galbraith's trademark acerbic wit, The Silkworm thoroughly engages as a crime novel." -Sue Corbett, People on The Silkworm
