PRAISE FOR THE STRIKE SERIES:

"Magnificent"  — Sunday Times
 "[Galbraith’s] greatest novelistic gifts are her ability to spin wild, intricate plots (witness the astrological elements of this latest book), and to create
colorful, highly individual characters who come instantly alive on the page." — Bill Sheehan, Washington Post

"Finely honed, superbly constructed" — Daily Mail

"A scrupulous plotter and master of misdirection, Galbraith keeps the pages turning." — Guardian

"The work of a master storyteller" — Daily Telegraph

"This is a crime series deeply rooted in the real world, where brutality and ugliness are leavened by the oh‑so‑human flaws and virtues of Galbraith's irresistible hero and heroine." — USA Today

"Addictive, murderous fun." — Vox
 
"Compulsively readable." — People

About the Author

---

Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy. Rowling’s original intention for writing under Galbraith was for the books to be judged on their own merit, and to establish Galbraith as a well-regarded name in crime in its own right. The Strike Novels have topped the national and international bestseller lists and the series has been adapted for television, produced by Brontë Film and Television.
