L'uomo marchiato
I clienti eccentrici non sono una novità per Cormoran Strike. Ma la donna che lo accoglie nella sua fatiscente e isolata casa nel Kent, Decima Mullins, sembra un po’ più che eccentrica. Visibilmente agitata, vuole che Strike indaghi sul cadavere dell’uomo che mesi prima è stato trovato, nudo e orribilmente mutilato, nel caveau di un negozio di argenti a Covent Garden. Il corpo è stato subito identificato dalla polizia, ma lei è convinta che si tratti di un’altra persona, più precisamente del suo fidanzato, di cui aveva perso le tracce proprio in quei giorni. Molte cose non quadrano nel racconto e nel comportamento della donna, ma è possibile che lei stessa sia vittima di un drammatico raggiro. Per quanto scettici, l’investigatore e la sua socia Robin Ellacott decidono di accettare l’incarico. In breve tempo si troveranno a indagare non solo su un brutale omicidio, ma su un caso che si allarga e si infittisce sempre più, tra indecifrabili simboli massonici, contrasti interni alle forze di polizia e interferenze della stampa. Nel frattempo, mentre sul campo si confermano una coppia imbattibile, Robin e Strike cercano di mettere ordine nelle loro incerte vite private. E forse è giunto il momento di guardarsi negli occhi e confessare ciò che da tempo fingono di non sapere. Le intricate dinamiche poliziesche ed emotive che hanno fatto amare questa serie a milioni di lettori nel mondo crescono d’intensità in questo romanzo che, tra piste false e colpi di scena, dipinge un monumentale ritratto dei bassifondi di Londra e della società inglese. «UN INTRECCIO CHE SI DIPANA A RITMO SCATENATO.

Blanco letal / Lethal White
La novela más épica de Robert Galbraith hasta el momento. Blanco letal nos ofrece un misterio cautivador y un nuevo episodio muy emocionante en la historia de Cormoran Strike y Robin Ellacott. «Vi cómo mataban a una cría... Cómo la estrangulaban.» Cuando Billy, un joven con problemas, acude al consultorio privado de Cormoran Strike para pedirle ayuda y que investigue un crimen que cree haber presenciado cuando era niño, Strike se queda perplejo. Si bien Billy tiene obvios problemas mentales y no logra recordar muchos detalles concretos, hay algo sincero en él y en su historia. Pero, antes de que Strike pueda hacerle más preguntas, Billy, presa del pánico, sale corriendo de su oficina. Tratando de llegar al fondo de la historia de Billy, Strike y Robin Ellacott, su antigua asistente y ahora socia de la agencia, emprenden un camino sinuoso que los lleva a través de las callejuelas de Londres hasta las salas más recónditas y secretas del Parlamento, pasando por una hermosa pero siniestra casa señorial perdida en el campo. Y mientras la investigación se vuelve cada vez más laberíntica, la vida de Strike es cualquier cosa menos sencilla: su nueva fama como detective privado lleva implícita la incapacidad de operar pasando desapercibido y el ambiente en la oficina es más tenso que nunca. Robin es indispensable para Strike, pero su relación personal se complica día a día. 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).

Anche se Billy ha problemi mentali e fatica a ricordare i particolari concreti, in lui e nel suo racconto c’è qualcosa di sincero. Ma prima che Strike possa interrogarlo più a fondo, Billy si spaventa e fugge via. Cercando di scoprire la verità sulla storia di Billy, Strike e Robin Ellacott – una volta sua assistente, ora sua socia – seguono una pista tortuosa, che si dipana dai sobborghi di Londra alle stanze più recondite e segrete del Parlamento, fino a una suggestiva ma inquietante tenuta di campagna. E se l’indagine si fa sempre più labirintica, la vita di Strike è tutt’altro che semplice: la sua rinnovata fama di investigatore privato gli impedisce di agire nell’ombra come un tempo e il suo rapporto con Robin è più teso che mai. Lei è senza dubbio indispensabile nel lavoro dell’agenzia, ma la loro relazione personale è piena di sottintesi e non detti… Finora il romanzo più epico di Robert Galbraith, Bianco letale è un nuovo capitolo dell’appassionante storia di Cormoran Strike e Robin Ellacott, ancora insieme in un thriller mozzafiato.

„Videl som, ako zabili dieťa!“ S týmito slovami vtrhne dezorientovaný mladý muž do kancelárie súkromného detektíva Cormorana Strikea a núti ho, aby vyšetroval zločin, svedkom ktorého sa stal ako malé dieťa.

Zamotáva sa nielen tento prípad, ale aj osobný vzťah Strikea a jeho neoceniteľnej pomocníčky v práci Robin Ellacottovej...

Weißer Tod
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 ... Sie sind Fan des außergewöhnlichen Ermittlerduos Ellacott und Strike? Dann lesen Sie auch die anderen Romane der SPIEGEL-Bestsellerreihe.

Lethal White
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).
