One shot - Lee Child

Now filmed as the blockbuster movie 'Jack Reacher', starring Tom Cruise.

Six shots. Five dead.

A heartland city thrown into terror. But within hours the cops have it solved. A slam-dunk case. Apart from one thing. The accused gunman refuses to talk except for a single phrase:

Get Jack Reacher for me.

Reacher lives off the grid. He's not looking for trouble. But sometimes trouble looks for him. What could connect the ex-military cop to this psychopathic killer?

Lee Child is one of the world's leading thriller writers. He was born in Coventry, raised in Birmingham, and now lives in New York. It is said one of his novels featuring his hero Jack Reacher is sold somewhere in the world every nine seconds.

He was appointed CBE in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours.

'Jack Reacher is irresistible.'
Observer

'Hot, indomitable... knockout.'
New York Times

'The thing about Lee Child's books is that you can't put the damn things down.'
Independent on Sunday

Child's strengths are fast-moving dialogue and gripping action sequences ... The excitement lasts from the first to the final page
EVENING STANDARD

The Jack Reacher series of thrillers...are all hugely exciting, and knowledgeable about weapons and technology. They exude a powerful sense of right and wrong ... We've seen him as a right of wrongs and always as God's gift to women.
