The Silkworm (A Cormoran Strike Novel, 2) by JK Rowling

‘Teems with sly humor, witty asides, and intelligence … A satisfaction to read’ TIMES—–Now the main BBC drama: The Strike series when novelist Owen Quine is going missing, his spouse calls in private detective Cormoran Strike.

At first, she simply thinks he has long gone off by himself for some days – as he has accomplished before – and she or he desires to Strike to discover him and convey him home.

But as Strike investigates, it turns into clear that there’s more to Quine’s disappearance than his spouse realizes. The novelist has simply finished a manuscript providing toxic pen pictures of almost everybody he knows.

If the unconventional has been published it might damage lives – so there are a lot of people who may need to silence him. And while Quine is determined brutally murdered in weird circumstances, it turns into a race in opposition to time to apprehend the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before . . .

A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second one in the enormously acclaimed collection featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined younger assistant Robin Ellacott.
