New Robert Galbraith book, The Running Grave

Seventh Strike novel to publish this September, in the tenth anniversary year of the bestselling series by Robert Galbraith.

Tuesday 26 th September sees the release of the next in the bestselling series of crime novels by Robert Galbraith. THE RUNNING GRAVE is the brand-new instalment in the highly acclaimed, internationally bestselling series featuring Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, published in hardback, Ebook and audio editions.

THE RUNNING GRAVE will be the seventh title in a planned series of ten, the first six of which have all been Sunday Times and international bestsellers. The Strike series has been praised as ‘the work of a master storyteller’ [ Daily Telegraph ], ‘unputdownable’ [ Daily Express ] and ‘a blistering piece of crime writing’ [ Sunday Times ]; with Strike and Robin dubbed ‘one of crime’s most engaging duos’ [ Guardian ].

2023 also marks the tenth anniversary of The Cuckoo’s Calling , the first novel in the series. A year-long run of activity is planned to celebrate this milestone, including a creative consumer campaign that will revisit key elements of Strike and give readers the opportunity to share their favourite moments.

Fans will also have the opportunity to purchase a special anniversary edition of The Cuckoo’s Calling , produced with exclusive artwork, of which further details will be released later this year. As with all previous editions of The Cuckoo’s Calling , royalty proceeds of the new edition will go to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity .

‘It’s been brilliant to see the enormous success of the Robert Galbraith books over the past ten years and an honour to publish them. With over 11 million copies sold in the English language to date, the story of Strike and Robin has captured readers’ imaginations and, like so many others, I can’t wait to see what happens to them over the course of the final four books in the series.’ David Shelley, Group Chief Executive, Hachette UK

‘There are few pleasures richer than knowing a new Robert Galbraith thriller is on the way!  Seven novels into the Cormoran Strike series, J.K. Rowling keeps expanding her already peerless skills in crafting drama, emotion, urgency, and capturing the infinite complexities of the human spirit—in dark and in light.’ Michael Pietsch, Chief Executive Officer, Hachette Book Group.

About the author

Robert galbraith.

Robert Galbraith’s Cormoran Strike series is classic contemporary crime fiction from a master story-teller, rich in plot, characterisation and detail. Galbraith’s debut into crime fiction garnered acclaim amongst critics and crime fans alike. The first three novels The Cuckoo’s Calling (2013), The Silkworm (2014) and Career of Evil (2015) all topped the national and international bestseller lists and have been adapted for television, produced by Brontë Film and Television. The fourth in the series, Lethal White (2018), is out now.

Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym of J.K. Rowling, bestselling author of the Harry Potter series and The Casual Vacancy, a novel for adults. After Harry Potter, the author chose crime fiction for her next books, a genre she has always loved as a reader. She wanted to write a contemporary whodunit, with a credible back story.

J.K. Rowling’s original intention for writing as Robert Galbraith was for the books to be judged on their own merit, and to establish Galbraith as a well-regarded name in crime in its own right.

Now Robert Galbraith’s true identity is widely known, J.K. Rowling continues to write the crime series under the Galbraith pseudonym to keep the distinction from her other writing and so people will know what to expect from a Cormoran Strike novel.

The Running Grave: Pre-Release Timeline

August 2020: In a Q&A on the Robert Galbraith website, J.K. Rowling said, “Denmark Street fits Strike like a glove because, obviously, his parentage he comes from, in some way, he’s from Rock N Roll royalty, but he’s never lived that life and yet he’s gravitated to Denmark Street and Robin might be calling him on that at some point in the future.” We’ll just have to wait to see whether Robin will call him on this in book 7, a later book, or at all.

18 December 2021 : Rowling was writing about Robin on a job in 2016, when the seventh book is likely to be set.

She's currently undercover on another job. Also, she's in 2016. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 18, 2021

1st March 2022 : Rowling updated her Twitter header, and fans with a keen eye were quick to spot the Cromer Pier in Norfolk. If this header is Strike-related, could this mean that book 7 will feature the Norfolk town?

Norfolk might ring a bell for Strike fans, as we’ve been told throughout the series that Strike’s mother, Leda, took him and his younger sister, Lucy, to live in a “quasi-mystical” Norfolk commune. Something Strike calls “the worst experience of his young life.” Will we finally learn more about this disturbing commune in the next book?

12 April 2022 : J.K. Rowling revealed on Twitter that she was already working on the seventh Strike book, four months before the release of book 6, The Ink Black Heart .

Currently on #7. #6 is out at the end of August! — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) April 12, 2022

18 May 2022 : J.K. Rowling was spotted in Cromer Museum . She bought a book on Norfolk dialect and a book on Cromer.

31st August 2022 : Rowling said she was still working on the book.

I’m delighted you liked it! As for #7, I’m working on it… — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) August 31, 2022

11 September 2022 : Rowling mentioned on Twitter that she was “deep in the next book” and that Strike was making progress with his diet.

He has to find his own way, diet-wise. I'm deep in the next book and you'll be glad to hear he's making progress. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) September 11, 2022

15 October 2022: In a Twitter Q&A with JKR’s Barmy Books , J.K. Rowling answered some fan questions that revealed some things about the seventh book. Here are some of the highlights:

• Strike will stop smoking .

I've got bad news for you. You'd better smoke all you can before now and the publication of the next one! — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 15, 2022

• Someone will suggest therapy to Strike .

Somebody (not Robin) does suggest therapy to him in the next book! — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 15, 2022

• We’ll meet Prudence Donleavy (Strike’s half-sister)

You meet her in the next one and you're right to like her. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 15, 2022

14 December 2022 : JK Rowling was “about 2/3” the way through the seventh book.

Well, I'm about 2/3 of the way through it and really enjoying it, so I hope you will, too! — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 14, 2022

15 December 2022 : Rowling finished writing Part 6 of the book.

For weeks I've been thinking 'if I can just get to the end of part six of the book before Christmas I can relax', and an hour ago I GOT TO THE END OF PART SIX. Then I looked round at all the tidying that needs doing and the presents that need wrapping and I've started part seven. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) December 15, 2022

2 January 2023 : After being prompted, Rowling changed her Twitter header to another photo of Cromer, Norfolk, which showed the promenade and waves crashing over the sea wall.

Have done it just for you. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 2, 2023

3 January 2023 : Rowling said that her brain was “on fire” and she’d spent 7 hours “bashing out thousands of words” of what we think must have been Strike 7.

Days like this, where writing's a pure rush, make up for all those where you're rewriting and revising and trying to make gold out of what you fear might be lead (and sometimes is). Of course, I'll have to revise everything I've done in the last seven hours, but who cares? — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 3, 2023

Later that day, she changed her Twitter header photo again, to that of an I Ching hexagon.

I realised I'd done that one before (or very similar), so thought @CormStrikeFan deserved something NEW! — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 3, 2023

6 January 2023 : A tweet from Rowling about yarrow stalks being used in I Ching oracles.

Yarrow stalks are the proper way to do it. Coins are for amateurs 😉 — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 6, 2023

In another tweet she said “you’re right to dread it”, referring the Norfolk commune –- more evidence that we’ll hear more about this part of Strike’s life in book 7.

You are right to dread it. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 6, 2023

12th January 2023 : J.K. Rowing gave us a clue to the title of book 7 on Twitter, writing “Disentangle the hanging venturer” with the letter spaces “_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _”.

Disentangle the hanging venturer. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ https://t.co/sIYbgbCazr — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 12, 2023

Shortly after, she revealed The Running Grave to be the answer to the anagram “the hanging venturer” and the title of book 7.

For those who missed the anagram, the title of the next Strike book is indeed The Running Grave! 🪦🌊🏮 https://t.co/F9EGwNAAn3 — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) January 12, 2023

21st January 2023 : Rowling changed her header photo again to that of St John the Baptist Church in Aylmerton, Norfolk, which is less than 3 miles from Cromer.

17 February 2022 : Rowling posted a photo of The Running Grave manuscript on Twitter, telling us that she’d finished writing the book.

🎉🥂 pic.twitter.com/PuKsopPTNJ — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 17, 2023

30 March 2023 : Rowling changed her Twitter header again, to a photo of Lion’s Mouth, a lane that runs between Cromer and Aylmerton in Norfolk.

19 April 2023 : Rowling changed her header to a photo of Rupert Court, London.

23 May 2023 : J.K. Rowling was deciding between two proposed book covers.

24 May 2023 : Rowling revealed on Twitter that the Italian restaurant Il Portico, London, would be in the book.

24 April 2023 : Amazon UK was showing the release date to be 26th September 2023 , and a page count of 832 (later updated to 960 pages).

19 July 2023 : The cover and synopsis was uploaded a day early on a bookstore’s website.

Cover and synopsis for The Running Grave

July 18, 2023.

Today, the official accounts of Robert Galbraith made an announcement regarding tomorrow’s big reveal: the official cover and synopsis of the new book, “ The Running Grave ,” will be unveiled on July 19th.

Surprisingly, the synopsis and the cover have already surfaced on various library websites, with McNallyRobinson bookstore being one of them ( credit goes to LudicrousMonica for the discovery ). Interested readers can now catch a glimpse of “ The Running Grave ” by checking out the new cover and synopsis ahead of its release on September 26th.

In the seventh installment in the Strike series, Cormoran and Robin must rescue a man ensnared in the trap of a dangerous cult.  Private Detective Cormoran Strike is contacted by a worried father whose son, Will, has gone to join a religious cult in the depths of the Norfolk countryside. The Universal Humanitarian Church is, on the surface, a peaceable organization that campaigns for a better world. Yet Strike discovers that beneath the surface there are deeply sinister undertones, and unexplained deaths. In order to try to rescue Will, Strike’s business partner, Robin Ellacott, decides to infiltrate the cult, and she travels to Norfolk to live incognito among its members. But in doing so, she is unprepared for the dangers that await her there or for the toll it will take on her. . . Utterly page-turning,  The Running Grave  moves Strike’s and Robin’s story forward in this epic, unforgettable seventh installment of the series.
