LONDON ( AP) — It may lack wizards and witches, but J.K. Rowling and her publisher are hoping her first novel for adults, “ The Casual Vacancy,” will have the magic touch.

The book’s title was announced Thursday by Little, Brown & Co., along with a brief plot synopsis and publication date.

The publisher said the “blackly comic” tale of rivalry and duplicity in a small English town would be available worldwide on Sept. 27.

The book will be Rowling’s first post-Potter effort.
