What is the name of the detective created by J.K. Rowling for the Cormoran Strike series?

Cormoran Strike is the detective created by J.K. Rowling for the Cormoran Strike series.

Rowling writes the series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Strike first appears in The Cuckoo’s Calling, where he investigates the death of model Lula Landry. He is a former Special Investigation Branch investigator in the Royal Military Police and later works as a private detective in London.

Robin Ellacott becomes his secretary and eventually an important investigative partner. Their professional relationship develops across the novels, which combine murder investigations with continuing character storylines.
