is waiting.
by Robert Galbraith
When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman s severed leg.
Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.
With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them
"Career of Evil" is the third in the highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott. A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, it is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives."
"Career of Evil is the third--and best--novel in the engaging Cormoran Strike private detective series... . [Galbraith has] invented a serial killer for the ages, one who chills us from the book's grim but riveting opening... . This perfectly paced mystery is packed with surprises, all of which play out with flawless crime-fiction logic." ―USA Today
"Hugely entertaining ... This gifted storyteller has taken full command of the new turf... . Career of Evil succeeds powerfully on its own terms." ―Chicago Tribune
"Strike and Robin are just as magnetic as ever." ―New York Times
