Description
About the Book
"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 who 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 ... Career of Evil is the third in the highly acclaimed series featuring private detective Cormoran Strike and his assistant Robin Ellacott. A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, it is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives."--Book Synopsis
Además de una trama de suspense ingeniosamente construida y repleta de giros inesperados, El oficio del mal nos ofrece una historia apasionante sobre un hombre y una mujer en una encrucijada tanto personal como profesional. Un nuevo caso de Cormoran Strike. En un paquete misterioso que ha llegado a la oficina, Robin Ellacott encuentra, horrorizada, una pierna de mujer. Su jefe, el detective privado Cormoran Strike, se muestra tanto o más sobresaltado ante el hallazgo, aunque mucho menos sorprendido. Hay cuatro personas de su pasado que podrían estar involucradas en el envío, y Strike sabe que todas ellas son capaces de actuar de una forma tan cruel y abominable. Mientras la policía se concentra en la única pista que Strike ya ha descartado, éste y Robin deciden investigar por su cuenta y se sumergen en el mundo siniestro de los otros tres sospechosos. Pero cuando varios hechos igual de aterradores empiezan a sucederse, Strike y Robin se dan cuenta de que el tiempo se les agota por momentos...
