Publisher's Summary

Private Detective Cormoran Strike is contacted by a worried father whose son, Will, has gone to join a religious cult in the depths of the Norfolk countryside.

The Universal Humanitarian Church is, on the surface, a peaceable organisation that campaigns for a better world. Yet Strike discovers that beneath the surface there are deeply sinister undertones, and unexplained deaths.

In order to try to rescue Will, Strike's business partner Robin Ellacott decides to infiltrate the cult and she travels to Norfolk to live incognito amongst them. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her...

Unstoppable, The Running Grave moves Strike and Robin's story forward in the epic, unforgettable seventh instalment of the series.

Stike really hitting his stride

The storyline was amazingly intriguing, gripping in parts when you just can't put the story down. Loved this one the best as Strike really does hit his stride in this story. It is very cleverly written as the growth of Strike's personality, and the development of his family connections are very well done.

Can’t wait for the next one!

Brilliant if Robyn doesn’t want Strike, I’d be happy to help out! Hopefully won’t have to wait too long for the next book!

Excellent.

Highly recommended. The most expansive, and perhaps darkest of the Strike novels so far. I listened to this over four days, and already can’t wait for the next one. Narration is superb.

Another fabulous read

I wanted to ration this book, I had waited so long for it’s release, but no within a few words I was once again hooked. Now I am waiting and hoping that the next, Strike & Robyn, book is underway and I can get through the wait with just a dozen or so rereads.
Brilliant book such a writing talent!!

Another Strike masterpiece.

She paints so clearly that I feel like I’m watching the movie as I’m reading/listening.
Can’t wait for the next installation.

A great read

A sinister central theme, cleverly engineered by the author with a gallery of, by now, wonderfully familiar characters leading the action. Add to this the brilliant narration we have come to expect from Robert Glenister and here’s another great read in the Strike series.
