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 model's 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.
