Private detectives aren’t usually hired to find a dead man. But that’s just what Cormoran Strike and his partner Robin Ellacott are being asked to do, in Robert Galbraith’s new novel featuring the UK’s most famous private investigator duo.

Anyone who isn’t already aware that author Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym of best-selling juggernaut J.K. Rowling can likely be counted on one hand. Beginning with “The Cuckoo’s Calling” in 2013, the series initially garnered little fanfare until Rowling’s authorship was leaked a few months later. Since then, the series has grown to include multiple bestselling novels and a successful BBC/HBO television series.
