What is the name of J.K. Rowling’s adult pseudonym for her Cormoran Strike novels?

J.K. Rowling used the pseudonym Robert Galbraith for her Cormoran Strike novels.

The first book in the series, The Cuckoo’s Calling, was published under the name Robert Galbraith in 2013. Its detective is Cormoran Strike, a private investigator working in London, and the series is co-written in story terms with Strike’s assistant Robin Ellacott as a major viewpoint character.

Rowling’s authorship was revealed publicly soon after publication. The pseudonym allowed her to publish a crime novel without the immediate expectations attached to the Harry Potter name and gave the book a different literary identity.

Robert Galbraith is not a separate person who later became Rowling. It is a pen name, and the novels continue to be marketed with Rowling’s authorship identified. The series includes titles such as The Silkworm, Career of Evil and The Ink Black Heart.
