How would you explain the last sentence? Strike returned to the bar to buy a third pint. Back at his table beneath the cupola, he drew out his mobile phone and called a friend in the Metropolitan Police whose friendship, though of only a few years’ duration, had been forged under exceptional conditions. Just as Charlotte was the only person to call him “Bluey,” so Detective Inspector Richard Anstis was the only person to call Strike “Mystic Bob,” which name he bellowed at the sound of his friend’s voice. How would you explain the last sentence: he bellowed at the sound of his friend’s voice? Thanks!

Oops - accidentally put it in the comments box! I had to read it through a few times as I'm not very awake this morning but what it's saying is that when Strike got back to the table, he phoned his friend Detective Inspector Richard Anstis. Anstis is the only person to call the main character by the nickname "Mystic Bob". Therefore, when Strike said hello to him on the phone, Anstis recognised his voice and so bellowed (shouted) "Mystic Bob" as a way of greeting him. Hope this helps :)
