Three adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s “Strike” novels have been broadcast to date, but sadly it may be some time before further episodes of the British television crime drama series appear on our screens. Holliday Grainger has stated that it could be some time before another series is broadcast, stating “I think they’ve always been quite clear that they’d never want to write one without basing it on the book. It is all about Jo’s writing, and the characters are all about what Jo’s written. So, you’ve got to wait.”

In the final scene of “Career of Evil,” Tom Burke – Comoran Strike – nearly ruins his secretary cum business partner Robin Ellacott’s wedding. Nevertheless, she exits the church smiling , seemingly more happy than imaginable that her rift with her employer has only been temporary. Her new husband – decidedly less than enamoured with his bride’s line of work – is less than pleased to see the private eye.

The marriage will fail of course, irrespective of the frisson between the sleuthing pair, Poor Robin’s got the investigative bug, and she’s not about to give it up for anyone…………..
