First edition, first impression, of Rowling's first pseudonymous novel, signed on the title page as Galbraith. The first of the "Cormoran Strike" crime novels caused a media frenzy when, three months after publication, Rowling was revealed as the author. The first impression comprised 1,750 copies and this is therefore a rare signed Rowling first edition. Octavo. Original dark blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Head and foot of spine very slightly bumped; jacket not price-clipped: a near-fine copy in a fine jacket. Errington A17(a).

A brilliant debut mystery in a classic vein: Detective Cormoran Strike investigates a supermodel's suicide.
