What is Hedvábník about?
When writer Owen Quine disappears, his wife approaches private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, the case seems unremarkable: Quine has gone away without explanation for several days before, and she assumes he simply needs to be found and brought home. Strike gradually discovers a far more complicated situation. Quine has completed a manuscript portraying many people in his personal and professional circles in an unflattering light. The case opens a window onto writers, publishers, and literary relationships, where career ambitions intertwine with private conflicts. Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacottová lead the investigation. Hedvábník offers a self-contained mystery while continuing the development of the central partnership introduced in the first novel.
