'One of the most unique and compelling detectives I've come across in years' . .MARK BILLINGHAM . .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 models 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. .'Just once in a while a private detective emerges who captures the public imagination in a flash. And here is one who might well do that... [Galbraith] has a delightful touch for evoking London and capturing a new hero' . .DAILY MAIL
