Da romanforfatteren Owen Quine forsvinder, ringer hans kone til privatdetektiven Cormoran Strike. I begyndelsen tror hun blot, at han er stukket af for sig selv et par dage – som han har gjort før – og hun beder Strike om at finde ham og hente ham hjem igen. Efterhånden som Strike efterforsker sagen, bliver det klart, at der ligger mere bag Quines forsvinden, end hans kone tror. Romanforfatteren har netop lagt sidste hånd på et manuskript, der rummer giftige portrætter af stort set alle, han kender.

Was the biggest case of his career the worst mistake he ever made? Ten years ago, DCI Jack Logan stopped the serial child-killer dubbed "Mister Whisper", earning himself a commendation, a drinking problem, and a broken marriage in the process...When another child disappears a hundred miles north in the Highlands, Jack is sent to lead the investigation and bring the boy home. But as similarities between the two cases grow, could it be that Jack caught the wrong man all those years ago?

Le jeune Billy se rend chez Cormoran Strike pour lui parler d'un meurtre dont il aurait été témoin il y a des années : un enfant retrouvé mort près d'un cheval. Mais le jeune homme est de toute évidence instable et se sauve avant que Strike n'ait eu le temps de l'interroger. Le célèbre détective privé et sa partenaire Robin Ellacott commencent néanmoins à enquêter, avec comme seule piste un nom de rue griffonné sur un bout de papier. Leurs investigations vont prendre un chemin sinueux à travers les bas-fonds de Londres.

The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Publisher's Summary
Winner of the 2016 Audie Mystery Award
Now a major BBC drama as part of the Cormoran Strike series.
When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.
Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past whom he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.
With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them....
A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, Career of Evil is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives. You will not be able to switch this audiobook off.

Read It!!!
I wish I could thank JK in person, for such a wonderful piece of writing, or listening in my case, I could not recommend this series highly enough.
I hope that this is not the last in the series (fingers crossed )

Perhaps the most disturbing Galbraith yet
This is a deeply troubling story about justice missed, miscarried or generally ignored...and the people who live who the consequences. What I loved about this book is that Robin achieves greater centrality, and we really get to see her develop as a detective. I literally can’t wait for the next Galbraith novel, because I think Robin and Strike are into a new phase as partners and it’s going to be even more interesting. Another stunning read by Robert Glenister — don’t hesitate to listen!!

This Series Just Gets Better!
This is the third book of the series (I have read four of the books in this series to date) & it’s a great read! JK Rowling (under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith) has created fabulous characters, good plots & interesting twists & turns in this wonderful detective story which has a delightful under undertow of the blossoming love story between the protagonist (Strike) & the deuteragonist (Robin). I can’t wait for the fifth edition where I hope they finally fall into each other’s arms! 😊

Love the plots, and the narration, I’m in love with Strike myself just because of the narrators chosen voice for his character...and I can’t wait to see how all the relationships between the characters evolve in the next book!

Another spiralling JK story but not quite as good as the previous two books. A lot of misdirection too but a strong plot overall.
