Bestselling author JK Rowling has revealed that she is the author of the thriller novel The Cuckoo’s Calling, which was published by Mulholland Books under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. According to Mulholland’s website, Galbraith, spent several years with the Royal Military Police, worked with the SIB (Special Investigative Branch), and left the military in 2003 to work in the security industry.

The Sunday Times uncovered the mystery when they were reviewing the book, and wondered how a first time author/former military officer could have written such a good book.
