For November 11, 2014 Meeting
The Cuckoo's Calling
by Robert Galbraith (464 pages)
After
losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely
scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client,
and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime
girlfriend and is living in his office.
Then John Bristow walks
through his door with an amazing story: His sister, thelegendary
supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously
fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide,
but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world
of multimillionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate
designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure,
enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
You may think
you know detectives, but you've never met one quite like Strike. You may
think you know about the wealthy and famous, but you've never seen them
under an investigation like this.
Introducing Cormoran Strike,
this is the acclaimed first crime novel by J.K. Rowling, writing under
the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
