The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
Copyright 2013, Mulholland Books, publisher |
Synopsis
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, the legendary 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. (Amazon.com)

In this week's Hey Stout! #CheckThisOut, we are featuring the library's Ask A Librarian contact feature. Reference librarians are available to help with your research and library-related questions during reference desk hours. You can visit the Reference Desk — located on the library's first floor across the lobby from Circulation — but if you aren't on campus, reference librarians can also be reached by phone, text, email, web form, and through the Ask A Librarian instant message chat on the Ask A Librarian webpage. Be sure to take advantage of this helpful library service!
