Den stemplede mand: Cormoran Strike, Vol. 8
I et sikret boksrum i kælderen hos en sølvhandler finder man et lig, der er blevet maltrakteret til ukendelighed. Politiet er overbevist om, at den dræbte må være en tidligere dømt indbrudstyv, han er nemlig blevet fanget af forretningens overvågningskameraer. Men ikke alle tror på den teori, og slet ikke Decima Mullins, der henvender sig til Cormoran Strike for at bede ham om at efterforske den dødes identitet. Hun er overbevist om, at offeret i boksrummet må være hendes kæreste, der er sporløst forsvundet. Alt passer på ham, og han ville aldrig forlade hende og deres nyfødte søn.
Efterhånden som efterforskningen tager fart, udfolder der sig et net af hemmeligheder og skjulte alliancer, som forbinder de involverede personer på uventede måder. Decima Mullins' desperation presser Strike og Robin til deres yderste, og de må navigere gennem kryptiske spor i en verden, hvor loyalitet og forræderi går hånd i hånd. Samtidig bliver Robin tvunget til at konfrontere sin egen frygt, og hun begynder at indse, at hendes fortid måske er tættere knyttet til denne sag, end hun først troede. Strike, der er fanget i en kamp mellem hans professionelle etik og hans personlige følelser, må træffe et afgørende valg, som kan ændre deres partnerskab for altid.

About the author
Robert Galbraith
33 books33k followersThis is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy, a novel for adults.
NOTE: There is more than one author with this name on Goodreads.
Rowling was born to Anne Rowling (née Volant) and Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.
Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: "I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee." At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said "taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind," gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, Hons and Rebels. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books.
Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn’t particularly happy. I think it’s a dreadful time of life." She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, "Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all Harry Potter character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of." Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as "not exceptional" but "one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English." Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.

Robert Galbraith: Den stemplede mand er både lang og absolut læseværdig. Plottet er vidtforgrenet og med mange navne kan den i perioder være svært at holde sammen på. Men både Strik og Robin er gode til lige at bruge en sætning eller en halv på at få os med. Robin kalder opklaringen af plottet for at lægge komplicerede puslespil. De har brikker til flere puslespil. Det gør det lidt svært for dem og også lidt for læseren. Den fortsatte fortælling om tiltrækning mm mellem den halvandet benede Strike og den væne Robin når nye højder i denne roman. Robin står i begreb med at skulle være frue til politimanden Ryan Murphy. Mon det bliver til noget eller har Strike noget i ærmet til at få Robin. I får se.. Robert Galbraiths krimier med de to detektiver i London og omegn er fremragende læsning. Bare kom i gang, hvis I ikke allerede er blevet fans.

Fin oplæsning. Det er en omstændig bog at oplæse, så stor respekt.
Herligt gensyn med Strike og Robin. Som altid, er det en stor og omfattende krimi, med mange udløbere. Spændingen holdes dog hele vejen. Og så ender den med noget af en cliffhanger!
Jeg er helt vild med denne serie og kan slet ikke få nok. Hvornår kommer næste afsnit?????

Dejligt gensyn med makkerparret Strike og Ellacott- som altid med Rowling er bogen velskrevet. Karaktererne, plottet og hovedpersonernes sideløbende historie er fængende. Som så ofte, når sidste side er læst, sidder jeg og er klar til at kaste mig over næste bog i rækken.. “kun” 4 stjerner fordi selve plottet har været en my bedre i nogle af de andre bøger i serien.
