The Ink Black Heart: The Number One international bestseller (Strike 6)

Product Information

The pain he suffers in his hamstring ultimately forces him to substitute his prosthetic leg with a pair of crutches, hindering his movement in the denouement and forcing Robin to handle things on her own. The police bumble about ineffectually; one staff member after another becomes the prime suspect; a colleague takes their own life, and our unnamed narrator has a relapse … Written with an Adam Kay-style sardonic wit and interspersed with descriptions of the real-life careers of murderous medics, it’s certainly engrossing, although crime aficionados might wish for a more focused, less picaresque plot. Inigo attempts to vicariously live his dreams of being a famous musician by forcing Gus to endlessly practice the cello.

Although he was stabbed in the neck by Anomie whilst attempting to protect Edie in Highgate Cemetery, leaving him paralysed, he lives and does not receive the same online abuse as Edie.She is treated poorly by both parents and is instrumental in helping Strike and Robin solve the case. Rowling’s new mystery novel The Ink Black Heart (published under her pseudonym Robert Galbraith) is 1,200 pages long. Strike and Robin find themselves embroiled in a case that stretches their powers of deduction to the limits.

Alongside Burke and Grainger, we'd expect to see some other familiar faces, such as Ruth Sheen as secretary Pat Chauncey and Jack Greenlees as Sam Barclay, an army veteran who carries out PI work for the agency, among others. She is able to provide the identity of Morehouse and Strike and Robin decide to interview him, but Morehouse is murdered before they reach him. She is abused online by Anomie and other fans before her murder and is also falsely accused of being racist, ableist and transphobic by the Pen of Justice. Holliday Grainger and Tom Burke as Robert Galbraith’s investigators, Robin Ellacott and Cormoran Strike.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," reads the official synopsis.
