"Harry Potter" author J. K. Rowling's mystery novel written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. This series of novels has been adapted into the American TV series "Detective Strike", with episodes 1-3 as "The Cuckoo's Calling" and episodes 4-5 as "Silkworm". On a snowy night, a troubled female model falls from a balcony in an upper-class London neighborhood. She is believed to have committed suicide. But her brother suspects something is going on and asks private detective Cormoran Strike to investigate. Strike is a veteran who has been severely damaged physically and mentally, and his life is in chaos. This case resolved his financial crisis, but he also paid a huge price: he went deep into the complex world of female models, dark truths surfaced one by one, and he got closer and closer to fatal danger... This is a fascinating and elegant mystery novel, filled with a strong British atmosphere: the noble and quiet street scenes of Mayfair, the backstreet bars of the East End, and the noisy Soho. The Cuckoo's Calling is a masterpiece, the debut of detective Cormoran Strike, written by J. K. Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.

Robin, the assistant of London's lame detective Strike, receives a package and is horrified to discover that it contains a woman's severed leg. Strike was less shocked than she was, but alert. He felt that there were four people he knew from the past who were capable of such a thing, all four men who were adept at committing unspeakable atrocities on a sustained basis. The police identified one of the four men as a suspect, but Strike felt that that person was not the perpetrator. He and Robin begin their own investigation, delving into the dark and volatile world of the other three. But more horrific events happened, and Strike and Robin didn't have much time left...
