Über diesen Titel

'A triumph of storytelling'
Guardian

THE NUMBER ONE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, SEPTEMBER 2025

A dismembered corpse is discovered in the vault of a silver shop. The police initially believe it to be that of a convicted armed robber - but not everyone agrees with that theory. One of them is Decima Mullins, who calls on the help of private detective Cormoran Strike as she's certain the body in the silver vault was that of her boyfriend - the father of her newborn baby - who suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.

The more Strike and his business partner Robin Ellacott delve into the case, the more labyrinthine it gets. The silver shop is no ordinary one: it's located beside Freemasons' Hall and specialises in Masonic silverware. And in addition to the armed robber and Decima's boyfriend, it becomes clear that there are other missing men who could fit the profile of the body in the vault.

As the case becomes ever more complicated and dangerous, Strike faces another quandary. Robin seems increasingly committed to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy, but the impulse to declare his own feelings for her is becoming stronger than ever.

A gripping, wonderfully complex novel which takes Strike and Robin's story to a new level, The Hallmarked Man is an unmissable read for any fan of this unique series.

Kritikerstimmen

A terrific and tightly plotted romp ... With an apparent effortlessness that speaks of great discipline and skill, Galbraith keeps the plates of all four possible murder inquiries spinning, each one replete with its own satisfyingly unexpected feints and twists ... A triumph of storytelling (GUARDIAN)
These Galbraith novels are remarkable, the management of a variety of themes and stories extraordinary. Indeed, I would rather read Galbraith than any other crime writer now active. These are books you can happily lose yourself in. (The Scotsman)
Cancel all your plans [...] combines a fiendish mystery with the deliciously tangled will they/won't they romantic lives of private investigators Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott. [...] It's so good to have them back. (HEAT)
Galbraith has created a world that the reader wants to spend time in and I'm just as invested in the characters as I am the mysteries. Strike and Robin are two of the most compelling characters in contemporary fiction and I really hope we've got lots more books to come. 'The Hallmarked Man' is dark, twisty and endlessly addictive, and it's one of the strongest books in the Strike series so far.' (ENTERTAINMENT FOCUS)

Für mich eins der besten Bücher der Cormoran Strike Serie. Schöne Mischung aus Ermittlungs- und Love-Story. Geniale Sprecher!

Spannende Geschichte bis zum Ende

I do love the Strike series. JK Rowling is a truly fabulous plotter, so twisted and well thought out. Great story. Robert Glenister did, once again, a fantastic job narrating, bringing Strike and Robin and all the side characters to life. Thank you for that, Sir!
I would have liked more Shanker and Barkley woven into the mix. Certainly could've done without Kim and the entire Charlotte cast, memories and entanglements clinging to the story. Perhaps in the next book we'll be finally free of her and her family's claws digging into Strike's flesh.
Hopefully the next book will be here soon.
Also, Go Pat!!

great Strike story, fantastic narration

Wie immer liest Robert Glenister großartig. Gespannt warte ich auf den 9ten Band der Serie. Ein Wiederhören mit alten Bekannten. Einziger Wermutstropfen sind die meines Erachtens überflüssigen Poems zu Beginn jedes Kapitels.

Es bleibt spannend hinsichtlich Robin und Cormoran.

Wie immer eine spannende, komplexe Story mit vielen Wendungen …. und mit Strike, den ich liebe.

Strike und Robin - a neverending Story

The books are always well researched and interesting. I love the story around the main protagonists relationship and the well woven intricacies of the story. I also love the narrator and am amazed at his voice range and versatility, Having said that I realize how difficult it must be to „speak“ a foreign language but I would have preferred a different speaker for the German dialogue only. Summarizing I found the book well put together and extremely entertaining, as always.

Strikes plight about picking the right time to „confess“ to Robin.
