Which pseudonym appears on J.K. Rowling’s adult crime series about detective Cormoran Strike?

Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym used on J.K. Rowling’s adult crime series about detective Cormoran Strike.

The series began with The Cuckoo’s Calling, which introduced Strike, a former military investigator working as a private detective in London. Robin Ellacott joins him as a temporary secretary, and their professional relationship becomes a major continuing thread.

Rowling initially presented Galbraith as a former Royal Military Police investigator. The disguise was later exposed, and Rowling confirmed that she was the author. Subsequent books retained the Robert Galbraith byline.

The series includes titles such as The Silkworm, Career of Evil, Lethal White, Troubled Blood, The Ink Black Heart, and The Running Grave. It is separate from Rowling’s fantasy fiction and from The Casual Vacancy, which was published under her own name.
