Копринената буба - Корморан Страйк - Книга 2

An irresistible crime novel with twists on every page, “The Silkworm” is the second consecutive book from the enthusiastically received crime series by Robert Galbraith, featuring detective Strike and his resourceful assistant Robin.

When writer Owen Quine disappears, his wife turns to private detective Cormoran Strike for help. At first, she thinks her husband has gone somewhere for a while – something that has happened before – and she begs Strike to find him and bring him home. In the course of the investigation, one and another possible reason for Quine's disappearance surface, though his wife is unaware of them. The writer has just completed a manuscript that is overflowing with repulsive portraits of his acquaintances. It turns out that its eventual publication could ruin the lives of many, and there are not a few people capable of “paying back” for it. Then Quine is found brutally killed under strange circumstances, and this sets off a furious race against time to track down a ruthless criminal and uncover the motives of the act.

A dynamic, tense thriller... Robert Galbraith stands out as the freshest and most challenging voice in this genre: the novel is partly hard, somewhat satirical, a little caustic... The rest is romance. — The Wall Street Journal

Another obsessive detective novel in which the star of Cormoran Strike rises for a second time. A novel that inherits deservedly last year's hit “The Cuckoo's Calling”. Full of keen perceptions and biting wit, “The Silkworm” engages with its wonderful rhythm, intrigue, and characters. — People
