THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING SERIES RETURNS THIS SEPTEMBER
A dismembered corpse is discovered in the vault of a silver shop. The police initially believe it to be that of a convicted armed robber - but not everyone agrees with that theory. One of them is Decima Mullins, who calls on the help of private detective Cormoran Strike as she's certain the body in the silver vault was that of her boyfriend - the father of her newborn baby - who suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
The more Strike and his business partner Robin Ellacott delve into the case, the more labyrinthine it gets. The silver shop is no ordinary one: it's located beside Freemasons' Hall and specializes in Masonic silverware. And in addition to the armed robber and Decima's boyfriend, it becomes clear that there are other missing men who could fit the profile of the body in the vault.
As the case becomes ever more complicated and dangerous, Strike faces another quandary. Robin seems increasingly committed to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy, but the impulse to declare his own feelings for her is becoming stronger than ever.
A gripping, wonderfully complex novel which takes Strike and Robin's story to a new level, The Hallmarked Man is an unmissable read for any fan of this unique series.
"Detectives Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott take on a new case from a wealthy client who thinks her boyfriend has been killed because he disappears from her and her newborn baby's lives. Narrator Robert Glenister engages listeners in this 30-plus-hour audiobook with a remarkable performance and a strong vocal mastery of its multitude of characters. Glenister makes believable Strike's true feelings for Robin, but, as usual, he can never bring himself to share them with her. Glenister's vocal craftsmanship creates drama, humor, and romance, making Strike and Robin a believable pair. Their tantalizing mutual attraction intertwined with the complicated murder plot they uncover creates a captivating listen for fans of Galbraith's (aka J.K. Rowling's) sometimes frustrating--but always outstanding--mystery series. E.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
