The article notes that linguistic "Machine learning revealed that J.K. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter, had written the 2013 mystery “Cuckoo’s Calling” under another pen name. The F.B.I. used a form of stylometry to show that Ted Kaczynski was the Unabomber. In recent years, such techniques have helped detectives in the United States and Britain solve murder cases involving a forged suicide note and faked text messages."

(Completely tangential side note:  Though I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books, I have read all four of Rowling's 'Cameron Strike' mystery novels that began with Cuckoo's Calling, and they've been excellent.  A little weak on the convoluted resolutions, but other than that, they're terrific.  Very well-done British TV movies have been made of them all.  They occasionally show up on premium cable, but I also think they've available on Hulu.)
