It's been years since J.K. Rowling secretly wrote a detective book under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, but the detective mysteries of Cormoran Strike are on their way to TV. The Cormoran Strike series, in development at the BBC, still doesn't have an air date, but Rowling couldn't resist sharing her screeners with Twitter.

The Cuckoo's Calling refers to the first Strike novel, in which we meet our weathered war hero private investigator and his resourceful assistant Robin. Together, they investigate the murders of supermodel Lula Landry, eccentric author Owin Quine (The Silkworm), and several young women in a serial attack by a terrifying culprit (A Career of Evil).

Rowling is currently writing a fourth Strike novel, which may or may not be picked up for the series to continue after its release.
