Segunda entrega de la aclamada serie protagonizada por Cormoran Strike y Robin Ellacott, una peculiar pareja que, por su inteligencia y determinacion, deleitara a los aficionados a las historias de misterio y suspense. La esposa del novelista Owen Quine esta convencida de que su marido se ha marchado a pasar unos dias solo, tal como ha hecho en otras ocasiones. Por ello acude al despacho del detective privado Cormoran Strike para encargarle que encuentre a su esposo y lo lleve de vuelta a casa.

Sin embargo, Cormoran descubre que tras la ausencia de Quine hay mucho mas de lo que su mujer cree. Hace poco, Owen habia acabado un manuscrito en el que revelaba los secretos mas comprometedores de practicamente todos sus conocidos. Es evidente que la publicacion de la novela arruinaria sus vidas, asi que, en teoria, cualquiera de ellos haria lo que fuese por impedir que el libro saliera a la luz.

Y cuando la teoria se vuelve realidad con la aparicion del cadaver de Quine, los acontecimientos se precipitan. Owen ha sido brutalmente asesinado, con una crueldad que Cormoran no recuerda haber visto nunca. Asi pues, detener al culpable se convierte en una tarea urgente, por lo cual Cormoran Strike y Robin Ellacott, su eficaz ayudante, han de recurrir a todo su arrojo y astucia para identificar al asesino y atraparlo lo antes posible.

DESCRIPTION IN ENGLISH

In this "wonderfully entertaining" mystery (Harlan Coben, The New York Times Book Review), private investigator Cormoran Strike must track down a missing writer -- and a sinister killer bent on destruction.

When novelist Owen Quine goes missing, his wife calls in private detective Cormoran Strike. At first, Mrs. Quine just thinks her husband has gone off by himself for a few days -- as he has done before -- and she wants Strike to find him and bring him home.

But as Strike investigates, he discovers that Quine's disappearance is no coincidence. The novelist has just completed a manuscript featuring poisonous pen-portraits of almost everyone he knows. If the novel were published, it would ruin lives -- meaning that almost everyone in his life would have motives to silence him.

When Quine is found brutally murdered under bizarre circumstances, Strike must race against time to understand the motivation of a ruthless killer, a killer unlike any he has encountered before...

A compulsively readable crime novel with twists at every turn, The Silkworm is the second in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring Cormoran Strike and his determined young assistant, Robin Ellacott.
