The Cuckoo's Calling

'The Cuckoo's Calling reminds me why I fell in love with crime fiction in the
first place' VAL MCDERMID

Now a major BBC drama: The Strike series

When a troubled model falls to her death from a snow-covered Mayfair balcony,
it is assumed that she has committed suicide. However, her brother has his
doubts, and calls in private investigator Cormoran Strike to look into the
case.

Strike is a war veteran - wounded both physically and psychologically - and
his life is in disarray. The case gives him a financial lifeline, but it comes
at a personal cost: the more he delves into the young model's complex world,
the darker things get - and the closer he gets to terrible danger . . .

A gripping, elegant mystery steeped in the atmosphere of London - from the
hushed streets of Mayfair to the backstreet pubs of the East End to the bustle
of Soho - The Cuckoo's Calling is a remarkable book. Introducing Cormoran
Strike, this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under
the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

*** The latest book in the thrilling Strike series, TROUBLED BLOOD, is out
now! ***
