Description
<div><p>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.<br></p><p>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.<br></p><p>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 . . .<br></p><p><strong>A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, <em>The Silkworm</em> is the second in the highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant Robin Ellacott.</strong></p><h3>Review</h3><p>PRAISE FOR <em>THE CUCKOO'S CALLING</em>:</p><p>"The master is back. . . [Rowling] returns to the strengths that made Harry Potter great--the beautiful sense of pacing, the deep but illusionless love for her characters--without sacrificing the expanded range of <em>The Casual Vacancy</em>." --<em>USA Today</em> (3.5/4 stars)</p><p>"A gritty, absorbing tale." --<em>People</em><br></p><p>"Cleverly plotted... Rowling serves up a sushi platter of red herring, sprinkling clues along the way, before Strike draws a confession out of the killer in a climax straight out of Agatha Christie." --<em>Entertainment Weekly</em><br></p><p>"Highly entertaining [with] a team whose further adventures the reader cannot help eagerly awaiting." --Michiko Kakutani, <em>New York Times</em><br></p><p>"[Rowling's] literary gift is on display in this work. She crafts an entertaining story [and] comes up with an ending that I'll admit I was surprised by. . . . A fun read, with a main character you can care about and one you'll want to see again in other adventures." --<em>The Washington Post</em></p><h3>About the Author</h3><p>Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter<em> </em>series and <em>The Casual Vacancy.</em></p></div>
