SILKWORM by Robert Galbraith

🕵️ THE SILKWORM

✍️ Author: Robert Galbraith (pseudonym for J.K. Rowling)
📖 Plot Overview

Cormoran Strike, the war veteran-turned-private investigator, returns in The Silkworm, a gripping sequel to The Cuckoo’s Calling. This time, Strike is approached by a woman named Leonora Quine, whose husband—Owen Quine, a once-famous novelist—has disappeared.

At first, it seems like a routine case of a writer running off, but Strike quickly realizes there's more to the story. Before his disappearance, Owen had completed a controversial manuscript, Bombyx Mori (The Silkworm), a novel filled with vicious caricatures of real people in the publishing world. If released, it could destroy reputations.

📜 When Strike discovers Quine’s brutally murdered body in a grotesque, staged crime scene straight out of his own book, it’s clear that someone wanted to silence him forever.

👁️ With London’s literary scene full of suspects, Strike and his determined assistant Robin Ellacott must navigate a world of secrets, ambition, and deadly betrayals to unmask the killer before they strike again.
