THE SUNDAY TIMES CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR 2023
________

Private Detective Cormoran Strike is contacted by a worried father whose son, Will, has gone to join a religious cult in the depths of the Norfolk countryside.

The Universal Humanitarian Church is, on the surface, a peaceable organisation that campaigns for a better world. Yet Strike discovers that beneath the surface there are deeply sinister undertones, and unexplained deaths.

In order to try to rescue Will, Strike's business partner Robin Ellacott decides to infiltrate the cult and she travels to Norfolk to live incognito amongst them. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her . . .

Utterly page-turning, The Running Grave moves Strike and Robin's story forward in the epic, unforgettable seventh instalment of the series.

'The Running Grave is pure joy' - Mail on Sunday

'The genre of crime fiction is such a wide one... it's often difficult to pin down which books are the best. However, THE RUNNING GRAVE by Robert Galbraith is a front-runner by any, and every, standard ... [it] isn't just a gripping mystery but a brutal glimpse into how cults work. [Galbraith] nails the slow burn of indoctrination and how even those of 'sound mind', intelligence and even scepticism, can find themselves trapped' - Sunday Independent
