About Strike
Based on the best-selling novels by Robert Galbraith (aka J. K. Rowling), Tom Burke ("The Musketeers") stars as private detective Cormoran Strike, a former war veteran now working out of a cramped London office. Together with his assistant, Robin Ellacott, Cormoran tackles cases that have, so far, baffled the police. Though struggling with the psychological and physical toll that combat have wrought on him, Cormoran is well-equipped to delve into complex conundrums thanks to his background as a Special Investigation Branch investigator.

A German Shepherd puppy has arrived in Mexico after being flown from Turkey as a gesture of gratitude from the Turkish government for The Help Mexico 's search dogs lent after February's earthquake.
Turkey said it hoped the puppy would " carry on the legacy" of Proteo, a Mexican Rescue Dog which died during The Search for survivors of The Quake .
More Than 50,000 people died in The Quake which had its epicentre in Turkey but also affected parts of Syria.
The puppy is yet to be named.
Mexico 's ministry of defence, which trains search and Rescue Dogs for their missions At Home and abroad, has asked people to cast their votes for one of Three Names : Proteo II, Arkadas (Turkish for " friend" ) or Yardim (Turkish for " help" ).
Mexico said Turkey's canine gift showed that " humanitarian aid knows No Limits or borders".

When Turkey and Syria were hit by a massive quake on 6 February, Mexico quickly deployed teams with Rescue Dogs to help locate people under the rubble.
Among the dogs deployed was Proteo, a nine-year-old German Shepherd , who managed to locate A Man and A Woman from under the rubble.
Proteo died while in Turkey. His trainer denied rumours that The Dog had been hit by falling rubble, saying that he had died from " exhaustion" after the long journey and arduous hours searching for survivors in very cold conditions.
His remains were returned to Mexico , where he was honoured in an emotional ceremony before he was buried.
On its Facebook page, Mexico 's ministry of defence said that it was " waiting with open arms" for the puppy Turkey had donated, saying that it hoped it would follow in his pawsteps.
