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

Product Information

Someone can make a billion dollars, enough to make many of their dreams come true, and still end up spending their days in bitter online feuds. Here, the inspiration is the similarly successful The Golden Bones, created by artist Frank Churcher: the tale of murdered Elinore, whose bones, made from gold and precious stones, are buried in sites across England.

The Ink Black Heart by Robert Galbraith: JK Rowling's tale of obsessive fans punches its substantial weight".

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. 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 .The spinster sleuth who, in Christie’s own words, “expected the worst of everyone and everything, and was, with almost frightening accuracy, usually proved right”, can be found solving crimes in Manhattan (Alyssa Cole), the Amalfi coast (Elly Griffiths) and Cape Cod (Karen M McManus), as well as on her home turf of St Mary Mead (Val McDermid and Ruth Ware) or the equally outwardly respectable Meon Maltravers (Lucy Foley). Twitter is a place where the general public can speak directly to rich and famous people, and some of the rich and famous people do not handle the results well. Robin also receives the picture that was supposedly sent by Paperwhite to Anomie and is able to trace the girl to a Glasgow art student. The body was never found but the circumstances were suspicious, and as the pensioners begin to investigate the cold case becomes red hot.

They then figure out Paperwhite was a sock puppet account controlled by Anomie to keep tabs on Morehouse and the other moderators. Tim Ashcroft – A former actor who voiced the Worm in the early episodes of The Ink Black Heart who now runs a theatre group that works with schools. I previously wrote in more detail about Rowling’s decline here , including analyzing her pattern of transphobic remarks. Grant Ledwell – Edie's wealthy, drunken uncle who wishes to carry on Edie's desire to create a movie version of The Ink Black Heart after her death for purposes of financial gain.

or any of the individuals or companies associated with producing and publishing Harry Potter books and films. Robin Ellacott – Strike's former assistant, now business partner, trained in criminal investigation.

Paperwhite – A moderator who is in an online relationship with Morehouse but is later revealed to be a fake account of Anomie. Neuware -When frantic, dishevelled Edie Ledwell appears in the office begging to speak to her, private detective Robin Ellacott doesn't know quite what to make of the situation. They share this with Josh Blay, the other co-creator of The Ink Black Heart and Edie's ex-boyfriend. It is early, in our opinion, to take this as the final page count, since it would be weird for the book to be already finished. She is the moderator Worm28 in Drek's Game and Ashcroft's girlfriend, a victim of his psychological abuse and grooming.

Inigo attempts to vicariously live his dreams of being a famous musician by forcing Gus to endlessly practice the cello. The sixth book in the Cormoran Strike series, THE INK BLACK HEART, is released today in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, with other international markets coming soon. Anomie is able to keep her quiet by threatening her with going to the police about her interactions with members of the Halvening.
