"Ballsy, dynamic and not for the faint-hearted" Daily Mirror "The blend of dialogue, atmosphere, action and plot will grip readers from the first page and further cement Lee Child's reputation as a world-class thriller writer...This is everything a thriller should be" Crimetime "One of the best writers in this genre...Reacher is in top form" Sunday Telegraph "Scrupulously structured...A thrilling and reputable read" Literary Review "The seventh novel in the best-selling Jack Reacher series. PERSUADER is another gripping thriller" OK! Magazine
Lee Child was born in 1954 in Coventry, England, but spent his
formative years in the nearby city of Birmingham. By coincidence he won
a scholarship to the same high school that JRR Tolkien had attended. He
went to law school in Sheffield, England, and after part-time work in
the theatre he joined Granada Television in Manchester for what turned
out to be an eighteen-year career as a presentation director during
British TV's "golden age." During his tenure his company made
Brideshead Revisited, The Jewel in the Crown, Prime Suspect, and
Cracker.
But he was fired in 1995 at the age of 40 as a result of corporate
restructuring. Always a voracious reader, he decided to see an
opportunity where others might have seen a crisis and bought six
dollars' worth of paper and pencils and sat down to write a book,
Killing Floor, the first in the Jack Reacher series. Killing Floor was
an immediate success and launched the series which has grown in sales
and impact with every new instalment.
Lee has three homes - an apartment in Manhattan, a country house in the
south of France, and whatever air-plane cabin he happens to be in while
travelling between the two. In the US he drives a supercharged Jaguar,
which was built in Jaguar's Browns Lane plant, thirty yards from the
hospital in which he was born.
Lee spends his spare time reading, listening to music, and watching the
Yankees, Aston Villa, or Marseilles soccer. He is married with a
grown-up daughter. He is tall and slim, despite an appalling diet and a
refusal to exercise.
