The Hallmarked Man

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.
一家银器店的保险库里发现了一具被肢解的尸体。警方最初认为这名嫌疑人是一名犯过罪的武装抢劫犯——但并非所有人都认同这一说法。德西玛·穆林斯（Decima Mullins）就是其中之一，她向私家侦探科莫兰·斯特莱克（Cormoran Strike）求助，因为她确信银库里的尸体是她最近突然神秘失踪的男友——她刚出生的孩子的父亲。
斯特莱克和他的商业伙伴罗宾·埃拉科特（Robin Ellacott）对这起案件的调查越深入，案情就越发扑朔迷离。这家银器店非同寻常：它位于共济会会堂旁边，专营共济会银器。除了武装抢劫犯和德西玛的男友之外，显然还有其他失踪男子与金库里的尸体相符。
随着案件变得越来越复杂和危险，斯特莱克面临着另一个困境。罗宾似乎对她的男朋友、警察瑞恩·墨菲（Ryan Murphy）越来越忠诚，但他向她表白感情的冲动也变得比以往任何时候都强烈。
