The Cuckoo's Calling is the first book in the Cormoran Strike detective
series.

Her name is Joanne Rowling, but she writes under the names J. K. Rowling and
Robert Galbraith. The seven books of the Harry Potter series have sold a
total to date of more than 500 million copies, making Rowling one of the
world’s bestselling and wealthiest authors. Six years after the publication
of the last Harry Potter book in 2007, she struck out on a new career as an
adult novelist with a London-based private eye series featuring a one-legged
army veteran named Cormoran Strike and his colleague, Robin Ellacott. As of
this writing, Rowling has published four books in the Cormoran Strike
detective series.
