Шелкопряд Р. Гэлбрейт
Когда писатель Оуэн Куайн пропадает без вести, его жена вызывает частного детектива Корморана Страйка. Поначалу миссис Куайн думает, что ее муж уехал на несколько дней, как уже делал раньше, и хочет, чтобы Страйк нашел его и привез домой. Но в ходе расследования Страйк обнаруживает, что исчезновение Куайна не случайно. Романист только что закончил рукопись, в которой фигурируют ядовитые портреты почти всех, кого он знает. Если бы роман был опубликован, это разрушило бы многие жизни. Значит, у многих его знакомых были мотивы, чтобы заставить его замолчать. Когда Куайна находят жестоко убитым при странных обстоятельствах, Страйк мчится наперегонки со временем, чтобы понять мотивы безжалостного убийцы. Убийцы, не похожего ни на одного из тех, с кем он встречался прежде...
