J. K. Rowling’s Latest Book, The Cuckoo’s Calling, Currently Released Under a Pseudonym!

By

Published on July 13, 2013

J. K. Rowling has released a detective novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling, under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. According to The Leaky Cauldron, the book has had modest sales (1500 copies in three months) but has garnered excellent reviews and was touted as a brilliant “debut novel.”

She told the Sunday Times of London, “I had hoped to keep this secret a little longer because being Robert Galbraith has been such a liberating experience. It has been wonderful to publish without hype or expectation and pure pleasure to get feedback under a different name.”

The book synopsis:

Cuckoos Calling by J. K. Rowling / Robert Galbraith

After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office.

Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.

You may think you know detectives, but you’ve never met one quite like Strike. You may think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you’ve never seen them under an investigation like this.

There will be a new Galbraith novel next year.
