When a mysterious package is delivered to Robin Ellacott, she is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg.
Her boss, private detective Cormoran Strike, is less surprised but no less alarmed. There are four people from his past who he thinks could be responsible - and Strike knows that any one of them is capable of sustained and unspeakable brutality.
With the police focusing on the one suspect Strike is increasingly sure is not the perpetrator, he and Robin take matters into their own hands, and delve into the dark and twisted worlds of the other three men. But as more horrendous acts occur, time is running out for the two of them...
A fiendishly clever mystery with unexpected twists around every corner, Career of Evil is also a gripping story of a man and a woman at a crossroads in their personal and professional lives. You will not be able to put this book down.

This review has been getting some likes lately so I want to make a clarification. I really liked this book when it came out. However I can no longer in good conscience recommend it or this series and if you don't know why, do some googling on what JK Rowling has been saying about trans people lately. It's bad.
Trans men are men, trans women are women. Their lives matter. Anyone who disagrees is free to comment so I can block you. :)
