Published under a pseudonym, J. K. Rowling''s brilliant debut mystery introduces Detective Cormoran Strike as he investigates a supermodel''s suicide in "one of the best books of the year" (USA Today), the first novel in the brilliant series that inspired the acclaimed HBO Max series C.B. Strike. After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, creditors are calling, and after a breakup with his longtime girlfriend, he''s living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with a shocking story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry -- known to her friends as the Cuckoo -- famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man. You may think you know detectives, but you''ve never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you''ve never seen them under an investigation like this.

In the epic fifth installment in this “compulsively readable” (People) series, Galbraith’s “irresistible hero and heroine” (USA Today) take on the decades-old cold case of a missing doctor, one which may be their grisliest yet. Private Detective Cormoran Strike is visiting his family in Cornwall when he is approached by a woman asking for help finding her mother, Margot Bamborough—who went missing in mysterious circumstances in 1974. Strike has never tackled a cold case before, let alone one forty years old. But despite the slim chance of success, he is intrigued and takes it on; adding to the long list of cases that he and his partner in the agency, Robin Ellacott, are currently working on. And Robin herself is also juggling a messy divorce and unwanted male attention, as well as battling her own feelings about Strike. As Strike and Robin investigate Margot’s disappearance, they come up against a fiendishly complex case with leads that include tarot cards, a psychopathic serial killer and witnesses who cannot all be trusted. And they learn that even cases decades old can prove to be deadly . . .

An unsettling cold case investigation ensnares Cormoran Strike and his partner in a web of dangerous secrets in this #1 New York Times bestseller, the inspiration for HBO Max''s acclaimed series C.B. Strike. When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private eye is left deeply troubled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic. Trying to get to the bottom of Billy''s story, Strike and Robin Ellacott -- once his assistant, now a partner in the agency -- set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike''s own life is far from straightforward. His newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been; Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that. The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, Lethal White is "addictive, murderous fun" for British mystery lovers and crime fiction fans alike (Vox).

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... A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, Career of Evil is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives. You will not be able to put this book down.

The latest installment in the highly acclaimed, internationally bestselling Strike series finds Cormoran and Robin ensnared in another winding, wicked case. When frantic, disheveled 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 cocreator 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. 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 . . . A gripping, fiendishly clever mystery, The Ink Black Heart is a true tour-de-force. *Some of the more complex layouts in the book are rendered as images in the ebook version so that you can enlarge on your preferred reading device*

O MUITO AGUARDADO VOLUME 4 DA SAGA CORMORAN STRIKE, ESCRITA POR ROBERT GALBRAITH, PSEUDÓNIMO DE J.K. ROWLING Quando Billy, um jovem problemático, procura Cormoran Strike para o ajudar na investigação de um crime que ele pensa ter testemunhado ainda criança, o detetive Strike fica muito impressionado. Embora Billy tenha problemas mentais evidentes e não se consiga lembrar de grandes pormenores, há algo de sincero nele e na história que conta. Mas, mesmo quando Strike começa a querer interrogá-lo, Billy foge do seu escritório em pânico. Para tentar perceber realmente a história de Billy, Strike e Robin Ellacott - antiga assistente e agora sócia na agência - partem numa busca tortuosa pelas ruas do submundo de Londres, chegam a um refúgio secreto dentro do Parlamento e, depois, a uma bela e sinistra mansão no interior do país. Durante esta investigação labiríntica, a vida de Strike também não está nada fácil: graças à sua recente fama como detetive privado, já não consegue passar despercebido. Além disso, a relação com Robin está mais tensa do que nunca - sim, ela é essencial aos negócios de Strike, mas o relacionamento pessoal que mantêm é muito mais complicado. Épico e fascinante, este é o novo episódio da história de Cormoran Strike e Robin Ellacott, aclamada pelos leitores e pela crítica.

Da Billy, en plaget ung mand, opsøger Cormoran Strike og fortæller om en forbrydelse, han så, da han var lille, efterlader det privatdetektiven dybt foruroliget. Strike og hans tidligere assistent Robin Ellacott – nu partner i detektivbureauet – forsøger at komme til bunds i Billys historie og føres ad kringlede veje gennem Londons gyder til de hemmelighedsfulde gange i parlamentet og et smukt, men dystert herresæde langt ude på landet. Sideløbende med denne labyrintiske efterforskning er Strikes eget liv langt fra enkelt: Hans nye berømmelse hæmmer hans muligheder som privatdetektiv, og forholdet til hans tidligere assistent er presset. Strike har mere end nogensinde brug for Robin i sit arbejde, men deres personlige forhold er mere indviklet end som så ... Den hvide død er et nervepirrende mysterium og en spændende fortsættelse af historien om Cormoran Strike og Robin Ellacott. Romanen er skrevet af J.K. Rowling under pseudonymet Robert Galbraith. J.K. Rowling er forfatter til Harry Potter-serien og Den tomme plads.

Written and photographed by Canadian freelance photojournalist, Robert J. Galbraith, this is a personal, daily account of the anarchy and horror that unfolded during five weeks of war in Iraq, in April and May 2003. The independent photojournalist, who also covers assignments for the New York Times, takes us away from the bright lights of the modern media giants, describing the misery of the war that many will never see or hear about, from the streets of Baghdad, Basra, Kirkuk, Arbil, Tikrit and Mosul. The author describes, first-hand, the main flaws in the Bush strategy to win the war in Iraq. It describes how a lack of coalition troops led to the looting and civil disorder that plagued the nation. Galbraith witnesses the looting of weapons from military warehouses which were then sold on the lawless streets of Samarra by children, while coalition troops drove by. He interviews families in Saddam City who were offered food, medicine and security to join the uprising against coalition troops. Every day was a battle for survival for the street orphans who formed gangs to survive extortion by rival gangs and rape by perverts released from Saddam''s prisons. He compares the relative calm in Basra and Kurdistan with the living hell of Baghdad.

Under et besøg hjemme i Cornwall bliver privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike antastet af en kvinde, der beder ham hjælpe med at finde hendes mor, Margot Bamborough – som forsvandt under mystiske omstændigheder i 1974. Det er nyt for Strike at arbejde med en henlagt sag – for slet ikke at tale om en fyrre år gammel, uopklaret én af slagsen. Trods den spinkle chance for succes, bliver han interesseret og påtager sig opgaven, oven i den stribe sager han og hans partner på detektivbureauet, Robin Ellacott, allerede arbejder med. Robin slås samtidig med en problematisk skilsmisse, uønskede tilnærmelser fra anden side og sine følelser for Strike. Efterforskningen af Margots forsvinden viser sig at være en djævelsk kompleks sag, som omfatter tarotkort, en psykopatisk seriemorder og upålidelige vidner. Og de må sande, at selv en årtier gammel sag kan vise sig at være dødsensfarlig ... Ustyrligt blod er den femte Cormoran Strike-roman, og dette labyrintiske værk, som tager vejret fra en, er samtidig det mest fængslende og gribende til dato. Robert Galbraith er et pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, forfatteren til Harry Potter-bøgerne og Den tomme plads.

„Extraordinar de captivant... cel mai bun roman al seriei." — Sunday Mirror Când Billy, un tânăr dezechilibrat emoțional, intră în biroul detectivului particular Cormoran Strike ca să-i ceară ajutorul pentru anchetarea unei crime la care crede că a asistat în copilărie, Strike e profund tulburat. Chiar dacă Billy are probleme psihice evidente și nu-și poate aminti prea multe detalii concrete, el și povestea lui au ceva sincer. Dar înainte ca Strike să-l poată întreba mai multe, Billy intră în panică și fuge. Încercând să elucideze povestea lui Billy, Strike și Robin Ellacott – cândva asistenta lui, acum parteneră a agenției – pornesc pe un drum întortocheat, care îi duce de pe străduțele Londrei într-un birou discret din Parlament și la un conac somptuos, dar sumbru, din adâncul zonei rurale. De-a lungul acestei anchete labirintice, viața lui Strike e departe de a fi una simplă: celebritatea câștigată ca detectiv particular înseamnă totodată că nu mai poate acționa nestingherit, în culise, așa cum o făcuse cândva. În plus, relația cu fosta lui asistentă e mai încordată ca oricând – Robin e acum neprețuită pentru afacerea lui Strike, dar relația lor personală e mult, mult mai spinoasă... „Se citește pe nerăsuflate" - Daily Telegraph „Confirmă excepționala capacitate de povestitor a lui Galbraith." - Daily Mail „Ambițios, sofisticat și stilat." – Times „Te fascinează intriga și îți place să fii în compania personajelor, admiri vocea, intuiția și ingeniozitatea autorului și savurezi ocazia de a te relaxa cu o carte fără să te simți grăbit, derutat sau păcălit." – The New York Times „Un roman gigantic, pe care îl citești într-o clipită." – USA Today „Alb letal este un thriller captivant în care personajele se luptă nu doar cu infracționalitatea, ci și cu moralitatea." - Wall Street Journal „A deschide un roman de Galbraith e ca și cum ai păși printr-un portal. Ești absorbit imediat." - Bustle

Finsterer als die düstersten Ecken Londons ... Der vierte Fall aus der Feder von Robert Galbraith, dem Pseudonym von J.K. Rowling! Ein verstörter junger Mann bittet den privaten Ermittler Cormoran Strike um Hilfe bei der Aufklärung eines Verbrechens, das er – so glaubt er – als Kind mit angesehen hat. Strike ist beunruhigt: Billy hat offensichtlich psychische Probleme und kann sich nur an wenig im Detail erinnern, doch er wirkt aufrichtig. Bevor Strike ihn allerdings ausführlich befragen kann, ergreift der Mann panisch die Flucht. Um Billys Geschichte auf den Grund zu gehen, folgen Strike und Robin Ellacott – einst seine Assistentin, jetzt seine Geschäftspartnerin – einer verschlungenen Spur, die sie durch die zwielichtigen Ecken Londons, in die oberen Kreise des Parlaments und zu einem prachtvollen, doch düsteren Herrenhaus auf dem Land führt. Zugleich verläuft auch Strikes eigenes Leben alles andere als gradlinig: Er hat es als Ermittler zu Berühmtheit gebracht und kann sich nicht länger unauffällig hinter den Kulissen bewegen. Noch dazu ist das Verhältnis zu seiner früheren Assistentin schwieriger denn je – zwar ist Robin für ihn geschäftlich mittlerweile unersetzlich, ihre private Beziehung ist jedoch viel komplizierter ...

Atemberaubend, labyrinthisch, episch – der 5. Cormoran-Strike-Roman ist der bislang fesselndste und faszinierendste aus der Feder von Bestsellerautorin J. K. Rowling! Cormoran Strike ist gerade zu Besuch bei seiner Familie in Cornwall, als er von einer Frau angesprochen wird, die ihn bittet, ihre Mutter, Margot Bamborough, ausfindig zu machen, die 1974 unter mysteriösen Umständen verschwand. Strike hatte es noch nie mit einem Cold Case zu tun, geschweige denn mit einem, der bereits vierzig Jahre zurückliegt. Doch trotz der geringen Erfolgsaussichten ist seine Neugier geweckt, und so fügt er der langen Liste an Fällen, die er und seine Arbeitspartnerin Robin Ellacott gerade in der Agentur bearbeiten, noch einen hinzu. Robin selbst hat mit einer hässlichen Scheidung und unerwünschter männlicher Aufmerksamkeit zu kämpfen – und dann natürlich mit ihren Gefühlen für Strike ... Strikes und Robins Nachforschungen zu Margots Verschwinden führen sie auf die Fährte eines vertrackten Falls mit Hinweisen auf Tarotkarten, einen psychopathischen Serienkiller und Zeugen, die nicht alle vertrauenswürdig sind. Und sie merken, dass sich selbst Fälle, die schon Jahrzehnte alt sind, als tödlich herausstellen können ... Sie sind Fan des außergewöhnlichen Ermittlerduos Ellacott und Strike?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In addition to a suspenseful plot that’s ingeniously constructed and full of unexpected twists, The Career of Evil offers us a gripping story about a man and woman at a personal and professional crossroads. A new Cormoran Strike case. In a mysterious package that arrives at the office, Robin Ellacott is horrorized to find a woman’s leg. Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is as alarmed, if not more, by the discovery, although much less surprised. There are four people in his past that could be involved in the shipment, and Strike knows that all of them are capable of acting in such a cruel and abominable manner. While the police concentrate on the only clue that Strike has ruled out, he and Robin decide to investigate on their own and submerge themselves in the sinister world of the other three suspects. But when other events equally as terrorizing begin to occur, Strike and Robin realize that time is running out for them by the second...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An unsettling cold case investigation ensnares Cormoran Strike and his partner in a web of dangerous secrets in this #1 New York Times bestseller -- "Rowling''s wizardry as a writer is on fulsome display" (USA Today). When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private eye is left deeply troubled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic. Trying to get to the bottom of Billy''s story, Strike and Robin Ellacott -- once his assistant, now a partner in the agency -- set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike''s own life is far from straightforward. His newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been; Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much trickier than that. The most epic Robert Galbraith novel yet, Lethal White is "addictive, murderous fun" for British mystery lovers and crime fiction fans alike (Vox).

Jusqu’au jour où l’avocat John Briscow, frère de la victime, frappe à la porte du détective privé Cormoran Strike. Strike est au bout du rouleau : ex-lieutenant dans l’armée, il a perdu une jambe en Afghanistan, sa carrière de détective est au point mort et sa vie privée un naufrage. Aidé par une jeune recrue intérimaire virtuose de l’Internet, Strike est chargé d''enquêter sur la mort de Lula. De boîtes de nuit branchées en hôtels pour rock-stars assaillies par les paparazzi, en passant par un centre de désintoxication et le manoir où se meurt la mère adoptive de Lula, Strike va passer de l’autre côté du miroir glamour de la mode, dont les reflets chatoyants dissimulent un gouffre de secrets, de trahisons, de manœuvres inspirées par la vengeance. Avec son intrigue haletante et sa galerie de personnages plus vrais que nature, L’Appel du Coucou, premier volet des aventures du détective Strike, s''inscrit dans la tradition du grand roman policier classique illustrée par Ruth Rendell et P. D. James. Un coup de maître. « Galbraith accomplit un prodige ! » — Publishers Weekly « Eblouissant. » — The Times

Quando o romancista Owen Quine desaparece, sua esposa apela ao detetive particular Cormoran Strike. No início, ela pensa apenas que o marido se afastou por alguns dias – porque ele já fez isso antes – e quer que Strike o encontre e o traga para casa. Mas, à medida que Strike investiga, fica claro que há mais no desaparecimento de Quine do que percebe a mulher. O romancista acabara de concluir um manuscrito retratando de forma venenosa quase todos que conhece. Se o romance for publicado, destruirá a vida de muitos. Muita gente, portanto, pode querer silenciá-lo. Quando Quine é encontrado brutalmente assassinado em circunstâncias bizarras, começa uma corrida contra o tempo para entender a motivação de um assassino impiedoso, um assassino diferente de qualquer outro que Strike já viu. Romance policial que se lê compulsivamente, com guinadas a cada virada de página, O bicho-da-seda é o segundo de Robert Galbraith numa série muito aclamada apresentando Cormoran Strike e sua decidida jovem assistente Robin Ellacott. Robert Galbraith é o pseudônimo de J.K. Rowling, autora da série Harry Potter, de Morte súbita e o primeiro romance protagonizado por Cormoran Strike, O chamado do Cuco.
