The Plot Thickens

Several days ago I linked to an article in which the author of the detective novel, A Cookoos’s Calling was outed as none other than JK Rowling (the author of Harry Potter) rather than as stated by the publisher, one Robert Galbraith. At the time some commentators speculated that it was all a publicity stunt by Ms Rowling to boost the sales of A Cookoo’s Calling. I, personally kept an open mind on the matter and was inclined to accept the author’s version of events that the leaking of her real identity was none of her doing. However it has now been revealed that the entertainment firm of solicitors, Russels was responsible for the leak (it was none of the author’s doing)! I will refrain from commenting on what the unauthorised leak may do for the reputation of Russels but, be that as it may the story is an interesting one.
