The Hallmarked Man (Cormoran Strike, #8)

by Robert Galbraith

Ale, man, ale’s the stuff to drink For fellows whom it hurts to think: Look into the pewter pot To see the world as the world’s not. And faith, ’tis pleasant till ’tis past: The mischief is that ’twill not last. A. E. Housman LXII, A Shropshire Lad
