2026 |

The brand new instalment in the highly acclaimed international bestselling series, featuring Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, written by Robert Galbraith, a pseudonym of J.K. Rowling A dismembered corpse is discovered in the vault of a silver shop. The police initially believe it to be that of a convicted armed robb…er - but not everyone agrees with that theory. One of them is Decima Mullins, who calls on the help of private detective Cormoran Strike as she's certain the body in the silver vault was that of her boyfriend - the father of her newborn baby - who suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.The more Strike and his business partner Robin Ellacott delve into the case, the more labyrinthine it gets. The silver shop is no ordinary one: it's located beside Freemasons' Hall and specialises in Masonic silverware. And in addition to the armed robber and Decima's boyfriend, it becomes clear that there are other missing men who could fit the profile of the body in the vault.As the case becomes ever more complicated and dangerous, Strike faces another quandary. Robin seems increasingly committed to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy, but the impulse to declare his own feelings for her is becoming stronger than ever.A gripping, wonderfully complex novel which takes Strike and Robin's story to a new level, The Hallmarked Man is an unmissable read for any fan of this unique series. Review A terrific and tightly plotted romp ... With an apparent effortlessness that speaks of great discipline and skill, Galbraith keeps the plates of all four possible murder inquiries spinning, each one replete with its own satisfyingly unexpected feints and twists ... A triumph of storytelling -- GUARDIANThese Galbraith novels are remarkable, the management of a variety of themes and stories extraordinary. Indeed, I would rather read Galbraith than any other crime writer now active. These are books you can happily lose yourself in. -- The ScotsmanCancel all your plans combines a fiendish mystery with the deliciously tangled will they/won't they romantic lives of private investigators Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. It's so good to have them back. -- HEATGalbraith has created a world that the reader wants to spend time in and I'm just as invested in the characters as I am the mysteries. Strike and Robin are two of the most compelling characters in contemporary fiction and I really hope we've got lots more books to come. 'The Hallmarked Man' is dark, twisty and endlessly addictive, and it's one of the strongest books in the Strike series so far.' -- ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS About the Author Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K.

O autorovi

Robert Galbraith

Joanne Rowlingová CH, OBE, HonFRSE, FRCPE, FRSL , píšící pod jménem J. K. Rowlingová či pseudonymem Robert Galbraith, je britská spisovatelka, známá zejména díky osmidílné řadě knih o čarodějnickém učni Harry Potterovi, která získala celosvětový úspěch včetně řady ocenění a nyní více než 500 milionů prodaných kopií. Kromě psaní knih je Rowlingová známá také svým životním příběhem, kdy se z života na sociálních dávkách stala během pěti let multimilionářkou. Nedělník The Sunday Times v roce 2008 odhadl její majetek na 560 milionů liber a označil ji za 12. nejbohatší ženu v Británii. Forbes ji označil jako 48. nejvlivnější celebritu roku 2007.

Joanne se zkrátilo na J., a protože Rowlingová nemá žádné prostřední jméno, použila jako druhou iniciálu jméno po své babičce Kathleen. Na obálkách se tak objevilo J. K. Rowling . Sama si vždy křestním jménem nechávala říkat „Jo“. Joanne Rowlingová se narodila v Yate, Gloucestershire ve Spojeném království v roce 1965. Společně se svou matkou, otcem a sestrou Dianne se přestěhovala do Winterbourne, Bristolu a nakonec do Tutshillu. Navštěvovala Wyedeanskou střední školu, kde často svým přátelům vyprávěla příběhy. V roce 1990 podlehla její matka ve věku 45 let dlouhotrvajícímu boji s roztroušenou sklerózou. Jako vysokoškolské zaměření si na nátlak rodičů vybrala francouzštinu, což později označila za životní chybu. Po ro...
