Description  A subway ride in the dead of night ought to be a safe trip when you’re built like Jack Reacher, but not when there’s a bomber on board. If you’re thinking Reacher’s not going to get involved, then you don’t know Jack. Child's tough but humane Jack Reacher is the coolest continuing series character now on offer. - Stephen King, EW Up close and personal. When Jack Reacher witnesses a suicide on a Manhattan subway, he knows that there is more than meets the eye. Soon he’s in deep, trying to unearth a dark secret for which both the feds and Al-Queda are willing to kill to keep from being revealed. Even in a city of eight million, a lone wolf like Reacher tends to stand out, and before long he is being hunted from all sides—which is exactly what Reacher wants. Jim Grant (born 29 October 1954), better known by his pen name Lee Child, is a British thriller writer.[1] His first novel, Killing Floor, won the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. Each of Child's novels follows the adventures of a former American military policeman, Jack Reacher, who wanders the United States. Grant joined Granada Television, part of the UK's ITV Network, in Manchester as a presentation director.[7] There he was involved with shows including Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and Cracker. Grant was involved in the transmission of more than 40,000 hours of programming for Granada, writing thousands of commercials and news stories.[8] He worked at Granada from 1977–1995[3] and ended his career there with two years as a trade union shop steward. After being made redundant from his job due to corporate restructuring,[7] Grant decided to start writing novels, stating they are "the purest form of entertainment."[10] In 1997, his first novel, Killing Floor, was published, and he moved to the United States in the summer of 1998.[11] His pen name "Lee" comes from a family joke about mispronunciation of the name of Renault's Le Car, with "Child" indicating where Grant would place his work on bookstore shelves, i.e., between crime fiction stars Raymond Chandler and Agatha Christie.[7] Grant has said that he chose the name Reacher for the central character in his novels because he himself is tall and, in a supermarket (Asda in Kendal, Cumbria, when he was living in Kirkby Lonsdale), his wife Jane told him: "'Hey, if this writing thing doesn't pan out, you could always be a reacher in a supermarket.' ... 'I thought, Reacher — good name.'"[3] Some books in the Reacher series are written in first person, while others are written in the third person. Grant has characterised the books as revenge stories – "Somebody does a very bad thing, and Reacher takes revenge" – driven by his anger at the downsizing at Granada. Although English, he deliberately chose to write American-style thrillers.[7] In 2007, Grant collaborated with 14 other writers to create the 17-part serial thriller The Chopin Manuscript, narrated by Alfred Molina. This was broadcast weekly on Audible.com between 25 September 2007 and 13 November 2007. On 30 June 2008, it was announced that Grant would be taking up a Visiting Professorship at the University of Sheffield from November 2008. In 2009, Grant funded 52 Jack Reacher scholarships for students at the university.[12] Grant was elected president of the Mystery Writers of America in 2009.[13] In 2012, his novel One Shot was adapted into Jack Reacher; an American thriller film starring Tom Cruise. Grant has a cameo appearance as a police desk sergeant in the film. Sharing Widget |
