The Hallmarked Man

About the book

A dismembered corpse has been found in the vault of a silver shop. Initially, the police believe it to be the body of a convicted armed robber - however, not everyone agrees with this theory. Decima Mullins is one of those who dispute this, as she is convinced that the body belongs to her boyfriend, who disappeared suddenly and mysteriously. He is also the father of her newborn baby.

Decima seeks the help of private detective Cormoran Strike, and as they investigate further, they uncover more complexities in the case. The silver shop is no ordinary establishment, being located next to Freemasons' Hall and specializing in Masonic silverware. It becomes apparent that there are other missing men who could potentially be linked to the body found in the vault.

As the investigation becomes more intricate and risky, Strike finds himself facing a dilemma. Robin, his business partner, appears to be growing closer to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy, but Strike's own feelings for her are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

A captivating and intricately woven novel, The Hallmarked Man elevates Strike and Robin's narrative to a whole new level. Fans of the series should not miss out on this compelling read.
