Which pseudonym is credited on J.K. Rowling’s Cormoran Strike novels?

Robert Galbraith is the pseudonym credited on J.K. Rowling’s Cormoran Strike novels.

The series begins with The Cuckoo’s Calling, published in 2013. It follows Cormoran Strike, a private detective and former military investigator, as he solves cases with Robin Ellacott, who becomes his business partner.

Rowling’s identity as the author was revealed shortly after the first book appeared. Despite the revelation, subsequent novels continued to carry the Robert Galbraith name. The pseudonym distinguishes the crime series from Rowling’s fantasy fiction and from her standalone adult novel The Casual Vacancy.

The series has grown into a continuing body of detective fiction, with each installment presenting a new case while developing Strike and Robin’s professional and personal relationship. “Robert Galbraith” is therefore both a publishing credit and a deliberate authorial identity.
