Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

Edie Ledwell, co-creator of the online cartoon The Ink Black Heart, asks Robin to help unmask Anomie, the troll hounding her online. The agency is swamped, and Robin refers her elsewhere. Days later, Edie is stabbed to death in Highgate Cemetery, and her partner Josh Blay is left paralyzed. Strike and Robin take the case. Robin joins the fans' online game to watch the moderators, while Strike works the real-world suspects on a painful leg. Anomie is Gus Upcott, son of the couple who managed Edie and Josh's careers. The duo unmasks him at the family home.
