TROUBLED BLOOD is the next thrilling instalment in the highly acclaimed,
international bestselling series featuring Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott,
written by J.K. Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. 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 .
. . A breathtaking, labyrinthine epic, Troubled Blood is the fifth Strike and
Robin novel and the most gripping and satisfying yet.
