One Direction star Niall Horan has made an appearance in J.K. Rowling's new book, "Career of Evil", which she's published under her pen name Robert Galbraith.
It's the third book which revolves around private investigator Cormoran Strike, reports mirror.co.uk.

One particular excerpt reads: "The band. They're a band that came third on 'The X Factor'. She's obsessed - she was obsessed - and Niall was her favourite.
"So when she says she's met a boy called Niall and he's 18 and he's got a motorbike, I mean, what were we supposed to think."
