J.K.Rowling desvela secreto

Hola a todos, me he quedado sorprendida al ver esta noticia.

Un libro llamado "The Cuckoo's Calling" de Robert Galbraith, se convierte en uno de los libros más vendidos en Amazon desde su publicación en Abril. Todos piensan que el autor de dicha novela es Robert Galbraith, pero hoy ha salido a la luz que quién está detras de ese pseudónimo, es la mismísima J.K.Rowling. Que ha mantenido el secreto hasta ahora.

Una muestra de que esta autora tiene potencial para crear nuevas historias y no quedar marcada para siempre como la autora de "Harry Potter".

THE CUCKOO'S CALLING

"Tras perder su pierna en Afghanistan, Cormoran pasa a trabajar como investigador privado. Pero se acaba encontrando con un sólo cliente, con los acreedores llamando, con la reciente ruptura con su novia y viviendo en su oficina. Hasta que aparece en su puerta John Bristow, con una historia interesante.

La hermana de John Bristow, una famosa supermodelo llamada Lula Landry, conocida por sus amigos como la Cuco, falleció pocos meses atrás. La policía dice que se trata de un suicidio, pero el hermano de la modelo se niega a creerlo.

El caso lleva a Strike al mundo de las bellezas multimillonarias, los novios estrellas de rock, los diseñadores desesperados y le introduce en todos los tipos de placeres, seducciones y engaños que el hombre conoce.

Puedes pensar que conoces a los detectives, pero nunca has conocido a uno como Strike. Al igual que crees que lo conoces todo sobre los ricos y famoso, pero nunca has visto algo como lo que hay bajo esta investigación..."
