The
Cuckoo's Calling is a 2013 crime fiction novel by J. K. Rowling, published
under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
A
brilliant mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a
supermodel's suicide. 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.
