Harry Potter author JK Rowling has helped Kate McCann to write a book on the continuing search for her missing daughter Madeleine.

Rowling, 45, is a supporter of Madeleine's Fund, launched after the Leicestershire three-year-old vanished on holiday in Portugal in 2007. The book, titled Madeleine and detailing the family's ordeal and the investigation, will be published on May 12, which would be her eighth birthday, according to the Daily Mirror. The money raised will pay for private detectives still trying to find Maddy.

Mrs McCann, 42, said: "My reason for writing is simple, to give an account of the truth. Publishing this book has been a very difficult decision, taken after much deliberation."
