This is J.K. Rowling's first detective novel, published under the name Robert Galbraith. When a notorious top model falls to her death from her snow-covered penthouse balcony, everyone assumes it was a suicide. But the girl's brother cannot accept this conclusion and turns to a private investigator named Cormoran Strike.
Strike is a war veteran, wounded both physically and mentally; his life is in shambles. He hopes this case will at least help patch his financial holes, but the investigation turns into a treacherous trap. As he delves deeper into the young star's tangled history, Strike uncovers the dark underside of events—and moves straight toward mortal danger...
The gripping, polished plot unfolds against the backdrop of London, from the quiet streets of respectable Mayfair to the dingy pubs of the East End and the round-the-clock bustle of Soho. "The Cuckoo's Calling" is an extraordinary and deservedly popular novel that marks the first appearance of Cormoran Strike.
