The father of Will, who has disappeared into the Norfolk countryside to join a religious cult, contacts private investigator Cormoran Strike for help.
In appearance, the Universal Humanitarian Church is a peaceful group that advocates for global improvement. But Strike learns that there are hidden, evil undercurrents and mysterious fatalities.
Robin Ellacott, Strike’s business partner, decides to try to rescue Will by infiltrating the cult and moves in with them in Norfolk under a false identity. But she has no idea of the perils she will face or the toll it will take on her if she goes.
The Running Grave is a page-turning continuation of the epic and unforgettable Strike and Robin saga.
Beginning of the Plot
In the month of February of 2016, private investigator Cormoran Strike found himself in a packed marquee holding a crying infant. Three blonde ladies, all in their forties, surrounded him with plastic cups of champagne and peppered him with questions about his most high-profile cases. While the mother went to the loo, Strike offered to hold the baby. Strike felt slighted that no blonde offered to help out by holding the infant.
Strike had seen the brunette in the startling pink outfit behind the blondes in church. When the holy water was being poured over the baby’s head, she made a scene by exclaiming, “aww,” out loud. Although Strike first avoided the baby’s gaze, he soon realised that he had really captured the infant through telepathy.
Strike’s godmother, Lisa Herbert, was determined that she return the baby to his mother. Strike’s old buddy and gastroenterologist/dad-to-be Nick Herbert joined him, Robin Ellacott, and CID officer Ryan Murphy on the case. Strike said that he adored infants when Nick asked him how he felt about having forsaken Satan.
Nick inquired as to where the baptism cake was, and the pink-clad lady followed Strike out of the tent. Strike had barely had a couple of sandwiches before Ilsa gave him the kid, so he was really hungry.
About The Author Robert Galbraith
On July 31, 1965, in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, about 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol, Rowling was born to Anne Rowling (née Volant) and Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer. Anne, her mother, had French and Scottish ancestry. Her parent’s initial meeting took place on a train leaving King’s Cross Station for Arbroath in 1964. On March 14, 1965, they tied the knot. Dugald Campbell, her maternal grandfather, was born and raised on the Isle of Arran town of Lamlash. Her maternal grandfather, Louis Volant, received the Croix de Guerre for his heroic actions in the First World War on behalf of the village of Courcelles-le-Comte.
When Rowling was 23 months old, her sister Dianne was born at home. When Rowling was four, her family relocated to the adjacent community of Winterbourne. St. Michael’s Primary School, which was established by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More, was where she received her primary education. Albus Dumbledore has been speculated to be based on her St. Michael’s School principal, Alfred Dunn.
As a child, Rowling was a prolific writer of amazing stories, and she often told her sister about the stories that she had written. “I can still remember telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family that lived there,” She adds. “The rabbit family fed her strawberries after she fell down a rabbit hole.” My first known literary piece was probably about a bunny I dubbed bunny when I was five or six. During the time that he was sick with measles, he received visits from his friends, one of which was a very large bee named Miss Bee. The Rowling family moved to Church Cottage in the quaint community of Tutshill, Gloucestershire, when Rowling was nine years old. Tutshill is located not too far from the town of Chepstow, which is in Wales. When Rowling was a teenager, her great aunt, who “taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind,” presented her with an ancient copy of Jessica Milford memoirs, titled Hons and Rebels. Rowling’s great aunt “taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind.” Rowling had such a high regard for Mitford that she went through all of her works.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Rowling admitted, “I wasn’t particularly happy. I feel like this is a terrible period in my life. Her mother’s illness compounded an already tense relationship with her father, and the two are no longer on speaking terms. In high school, she studied at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had previously worked as a lab technician. As a teenager, Rowling identified with the character of Hermione, the bookworm and Harry Potter expert. Not that I’m bragging or anything, but she’s basically a caricature of me when I was eleven. Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, recalls that she was “not exceptional” but “one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English.” She believes the turquoise Ford Anglia in her books was inspired by the one owned by Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth.
