Robert Galbraith Book order (chronological)

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 specialises 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.

Pisarz Owen Quine zaginął. Jego żona zleca sprawę prywatnemu detektywowi Cormoranowi Strikeowi. Kobieta sądzi, że mąż potrzebował kilku dni dla siebie, jak to zdarzało się już wcześniej. Strike ma go odnaleźć i sprowadzić do domu. W trakcie śledztwa okazuje się, że powód zniknięcia Quinea może być znacznie poważniejszy niż podejrzewa żona. Pisarz właśnie ukończył rękopis będący jadowitym portretem niemal wszystkich jego znajomych. Gdyby książka została opublikowana, zrujnowałaby niejedno życie, więc wielu osobom mogło zależeć na uciszeniu autora. A kiedy ten zostaje odnaleziony brutalnie zamordowany w dziwacznych okolicznościach rozpoczyna się wyścig z czasem, by zrozumieć motyw bezwzględnego zabójcy, zabójcy, jakiego Strike do tej pory nie spotkał

Do Cormorana Strikea zgłasza się zaniepokojony ojciec, którego syn Will przyłączył się do sekty religijnej gdzieś w wiejskiej głuszy hrabstwa Norfolk. Powszechny Kościół Humanitarny to z pozoru pokojowa organizacja dążąca do zmiany świata na lepsze. Strike odkrywa jednak, że pod szlachetnymi frazesami kryją się nieczyste intencje i zagadkowe zgony. Aby ratować Willa, wspólniczka Cormorana Robin Ellacott postanawia przeniknąć do sekty i zamieszkać wśród jej członków. Nie jest jednak gotowa na okrucieństwa, których będzie świadkiem, ani na cenę, jaką przyjdzie jej zapłacić za swoje zawodowe ambicje. Wartka śmierć to siódmy tom epickiej serii kryminalnej przepełniona niepokojem i wielkimi emocjami kontynuacja losów Robin i Strikea.

The box set features the first five novels in the Cormoran Strike series, crafted by Robert Galbraith. This acclaimed series follows private investigator Cormoran Strike as he navigates complex cases, uncovering dark secrets and engaging with a diverse cast of characters. The beautifully designed collection showcases the intricate plots and sharp writing that have captivated readers worldwide, making it a perfect addition for fans of mystery and detective fiction.

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 . . .

Quando il giovane Billy, in preda a una grande agitazione, irrompe nella sua agenzia investigativa per denunciare un crimine a cui crede di aver assistito da piccolo, Cormoran Strike rimane profondamente turbato. 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...

“I seen a kid killed…He strangled it, up by the horse.” When Billy, a troubled young man, comes to private eye Cormoran Strike’s office to ask for his help investigating a crime he thinks he witnessed as a child, Strike is left deeply unsettled. 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.
