Product Information
A disturbing package leads Detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott to investigate four dangerous murder suspects in this "magnetic" British mystery (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times ) that inspired the acclaimed HBO Max series C.B. Strike . When Robin Ellacott opens an unexpected delivery, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg. Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but just as alarmed. He suspects that four people from his past could be responsible -- and any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality. With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike has essentially ruled out, 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 . . . Career of Evil is the third in J. K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott. 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.Product Identifiers

ReviewsRobert Glenister is the man in this fine performance of Robert Galbraith's most recent detective thriller. Having narrated the first two books in the series, Glenister knows the main characters...The real-life pacing and vocal differences between the rough-hewn, older Strike and the younger Ellacott bring their scenes particularly to life. And Glenister's use of a flattened, even tone for the sections that take place inside the mind of the killer adds chillingly to the tension. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award., Career of Evil is the third--and best--novel in the engaging Cormoran Strike private detective series...This perfectly paced mystery is packed with surprises, all of which play out with flawless crime-fiction logic., The book ends on a cliffhanger worthy of Harry Potter, and Rowling's readers will eagerly await the next installment., Maintaining a high level of suspense throughout, Rowling transforms Robin into a professional equal of Strike's and sets the stage for further complexities in their relationship in the next book., Her gripping third novel...achieves a new candor about the gap between solving crimes and repairing their damages...an absorbing book, pulpy, fast, and satisfying., Rowling's writing is velvety and fluid, making the book pure pleasure...Clever, tightly plotted mysteries with all of the most pleasurable elements of the genre...but with stunning emotional and moral shading.
