Which pseudonym did J.K. Rowling use for her crime-fiction series featuring Cormoran Strike?

J.K. Rowling used the pseudonym Robert Galbraith for her crime-fiction series featuring Cormoran Strike.

The series began with The Cuckoo’s Calling in 2013. Its central detective is Cormoran Strike, a former military investigator who works as a private detective in London. Robin Ellacott becomes closely associated with his investigative agency.

Rowling chose to publish the books under a male-sounding name so the novels could be judged independently from the enormous fame of Harry Potter. Her identity was exposed several months after The Cuckoo’s Calling appeared, and she confirmed the authorship.

Later books include The Silkworm, Career of Evil, Lethal White, Troubled Blood, The Ink Black Heart, and The Running Grave. The pseudonym is therefore tied to an ongoing series, not only to the first novel.
