MEDIA REVIEWS
In the space of less than five years,Child has established himself as one of Britain's most successful commercial novelists...Complete with crackling fast dialogue,an edgy ambivalent plot,and the capacity to make his readers turn the page,this feels like Child's breakthrough book into the mega-sellers. He is that goodReacher is a hero in the old Wild West stle: a fearless and capable loner,who lives by his own set of morals and is proud never to have killed a man who didn't deserve it...The author is in complete control of his complicated plot and has produced another real pageturnerThe British émigré Lee Child has become more American than the natives...A well-woven tale of dirt and duplicity with engaging characters...Child's character is a classic heroIf you like thrillers of the bang-wallop variety,with a nice bit of plotting thrown in,this is the one for youBig,bruising actioner...Child's great strength lies in spelling out exactly how explosive things are made to happen...Cathartic stuff,expertly delivered
Lee Child
One of Waterstones'very favourite authors,Lee Child sprang from redundancy at Granada Television in 1995 to rise to thriller-writing pre-eminence with his sequence of stories featuring ex-military policeman Jack Reacher. A huge draw at countless Waterstones events,working with Lee over the years has for us always been an absolute pleasure.
