Ever heard the name Lee Child & wondered who he was exactly? Brace yourself, you're about to discover the maestro of the thriller scene! Originally christened James Dover Grant in the bustling city of Coventry, he's soared to fame under his more cryptic moniker, Lee Child. He's the mastermind behind the spine-tingling Jack Reacher series, a staple in many a thriller aficionado's library.
What's the backstory of a Midlands bloke turned bestselling novelist? Lee Child's tale begins in Birmingham, evolves with a law degree from the University of Sheffield, but here's the kicker - the legal world wasn't his cup of tea. A hop over to Manchester to join Granada Television & a surprising redundancy spun his career on its head, prompting him to take the literary plunge. The result? A series of books that have had readers on the edge of their seats.
The year 1997 marked Jack Reacher's debut in Killing Floor. Reacher, an ex-American military cop with a penchant for drifting & justice, instantly captured the hearts of readers.

Turns out, he's quite the reacher in the literary world too!
Spanning over two decades, the Jack Reacher saga is jam-packed with action, mystery, & the perfect dash of mayhem. Here's a sneak peek at the adventures that await:
