Hedvábník
Author: Robert Galbraith
15,96 €
Hedvábník begins the search for a missing writer with a seemingly familiar family situation. Strike gradually discovers that Quine's earlier absences may not explain this one, and the case takes on a more serious dimension.
When novelist Owen Quine disappears, his wife asks private detective Cormoran Strike to find him. At first, it seems the writer has simply gone away for a few days, as he has before. Strike soon discovers that this time the case is far more serious.

Publication could destroy the reputations of several influential figures in the literary world, leaving no shortage of motives to silence him.
