The Hallmarked Man Cormoran Strike Book 8

Private detective Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott take on their most intricate case yet in The Hallmarked Man, the eighth novel in Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike series. A dismembered body discovered in a silver shop vault near Freemasons' Hall is thought to be a criminal, but Decima Mullins is certain it is her missing boyfriend, the father of her newborn. Strike and Ellacott soon uncover a web of vanished men who all match the description, and the shop's trade in Masonic silverware hints at deeper, hidden motives.

As the crime thriller spirals into greater danger, Strike wrestles with his own feelings for Robin, who grows more committed to her policeman boyfriend, Ryan Murphy. The pressure to confess his love builds while the partners chase a case that tests their professional bond and pushes them toward a reckoning neither can avoid.
