Today, the official accounts of Robert Galbraith made an announcement regarding tomorrow’s big reveal: the official cover and synopsis of the new book, “The Running Grave,” will be unveiled on July 19th.

Surprisingly, the synopsis and the cover have already surfaced on various library websites, with McNallyRobinson bookstore being one of them (credit goes to LudicrousMonica for the discovery). Interested readers can now catch a glimpse of “The Running Grave” by checking out the new cover and synopsis ahead of its release on September 26th.

In the seventh installment in the Strike series, Cormoran and Robin must rescue a man ensnared in the trap of a dangerous cult. 

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 organization 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 among its members. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her. . .

Utterly page-turning, The Running Grave moves Strike’s and Robin’s story forward in this epic, unforgettable seventh installment of the series.
