中文简介:《布谷的呼唤》(英语:The Cuckoo's Calling)是英国作家J·K·罗琳在2013年以笔名罗伯特·加尔布雷思(Robert Galbraith)出版的一部犯罪小说。
故事发生在英国伦敦,私家侦探、阿富汗战争退伍兵、摇滚巨星乔尼·罗克比的儿子科莫兰·斯特莱克(Cormoran Strike)在与多年女友分手、侦探所债台高筑之际,受理了在律师行工作的约翰·布里斯托(John Bristow)的业务。约翰·布里斯托是三个月前坠楼而亡的超级名模卢拉•兰德里的哥哥。他的弟弟查理在少年时期因意外夭折,而查理曾经是斯特莱克的同窗好友。警察认定卢拉是自杀身亡,而布里斯托觉得此案疑点重重,要斯特莱克调查。
英文简介: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.
