The Ink Black Heart sends Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott into the darker corners of internet culture after the cocreator of a popular cartoon seeks help — and soon turns up dead in Highgate Cemetery.

The case revolves around a pseudonymous figure known as Anomie and a complex web of aliases, business interests and family tensions. As Strike and Robin untangle digital footprints and real-world threats, the story examines how online persecution can spill into violent consequences and how modern sleuthing must adapt.
