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. Decima Mullins is certain the body is her missing boyfriend, the father of her newborn baby, and she turns to private detective Cormoran Strike for help.
The deeper Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott dig, the more labyrinthine the case becomes. The silver shop is no ordinary premises: situated beside Freemasons’ Hall, it specialises in Masonic silverware. Beyond the armed robber and Decima’s boyfriend, other missing men emerge who could match the victim’s profile.
As the investigation grows ever more complex and dangerous, Strike faces a personal dilemma. Robin seems increasingly committed to her boyfriend, policeman Ryan Murphy — yet Strike’s impulse to confess his own feelings is stronger than ever.
Compelling mystery: a body in a silver vault sparks a multi-layered investigation. Rich setting: a specialist Masonic silverware shop beside Freemasons’ Hall. High stakes: multiple missing men and mounting danger for Strike and Robin.
Emotional tension: Strike’s growing feelings for Robin collide with her relationship with Ryan. The Hallmarked Man is a gripping, wonderfully complex addition to the Cormoran Strike series — unmissable for fans of these unforgettable characters.
