The other day, the release of the detective series "Strike", based on the first of three books by Joan Rowling about the life of detective Cormoran Strike.

This time will cost without the writer's usual magic. The series will show the life of the veteran of the Afghan war, Strike, who became a private detective.

"Despite physical and mental traumas, Strike's unique insight and experience allow him to uncover the most intricate deeds that lead to the impasse of Scotland Yard," reads the annotation of the first series.

The cycle "Cormorant Strike": "Call of the Cuckoo", "Silkworm" and "In the Service of Evil" was written under the pseudonym of the writer - Robert Galbraith.

Thus, JK Rowling tried to divert attention from her persona, as her name has long been synonymous with Harry Potter and everything related to Hogwarts.

Premiere show of the series "Strike" will be held on Sunday, August 27th, on the BBC.

Recall, previously announced the date of the premiere of Season 8 "Walking Dead".
